It's a Disaster for Golden State Warriors : D'Angelo Russel Out too.
Golden State Warriors absolutely has been very unfortunate with how their roster is going through a lot last and this season. After losing Kevin Durant in the NBA Finals, Klay Thompson in game 6, Stephen Curry being out of the season, another nightmare has come for Goldenstate Warriors - D'Angelo Russel out for about 1-2 Weeks.
Warriors have actually fallen having a record of 2-12, worst standings in the league being placed at the bottom of the standings. What else could you expect from a team without their superstars. Durant was out for Brooklyn, Curry out for the rest of the season, Thompson still not sure when he will return, and Russell now out. They are the fundamentals of Warriors offense and without them, they've seen that the team has not been performing well.
It will be a difficult position for coach Steve Kerr knowing that he's used to have Klay and Steph in his line up. Either one of them, either of them can and will explode during games. Another thing is that most of the Warriors budget are centralized to these two, meaning they take the biggest slice of the budget. What I am trying to point out is that Warriors will have difficulty finding great players with the salary cap.
Unlike from the couple of years, NBA has been so much silent compared to the mentioned years. Wannabe Warriors fans aren't even talking the shit now and probably they even don't know the latest additions to the team. I never idolized and picked Warriors and as a matter of fact I was supporting Timberwolves in the West and the Bucks in the East. They may have not reached the Finals but they were the team I pick because their young guns are entertaining to watch.
Again this is very hard for the Warriors right now and its totally understandable to see them at the bottom of the standings. Seeing them very damaged with their players injury has been disappointing but seeing the good side, there were lots of teams showing off now. Nuggets, Timberwolves, Mavericks, Hawks, and Heat are the unlikely teams that performed well in their first games. So its still a good season despite seeing Goldenstate like this.

In my honest opinion I feel like this is the best thing that could happen to the warriors after KD left and Klay got injured. In a way all the injuries make it expected for the warriors to lose and set them up to get a high draft pick in the next NBA draft. They could add a new young player with high potential in the draft and give much needed playing time to the young players on the team now so that they will develop into good bench pieces for the future.
Yea. These players have been battling with fatigue too for the number of years they've been to the finals. It's time to pay the overuse of physical stamina.
