Game Notes
- “Warriors coach Steve Kerr acknowledged Sunday that despite the emergence of the big man, particularly on offense, Andrew Bogut is headed back to the starting lineup.
‘I’ve already talked to Mo and Bogs about it,’ Kerr said after practice. ‘Bogs is our starting center. It’s going to happen pretty soon, one way or the other.'” — Monte Poole, CSN Bay Area
- “Andrew Bogut (ill) was sent back to the hotel before shootaround. He’s questionable for tonight.” — Rusty Simmons, San Francisco Chronicle
- “Reserve center Festus Ezeli (left ankle) didn’t make the trip to Salt Lake City, so Marreese Speights, who has started the past seven games, would get the nod if Bogut can’t play.” — Simmons
- “‘It’ll be a good test for us to go on the road against a team that…obviously their record isn’t great but they’ve been playing well,’ guard Stephen Curry said before the Warriors (29-5) left Oakland for Salt Lake City, where they meet the Jazz on Tuesday night. ‘We’ve got to be ready. It’s going to be important for us to start the game off well, having come off six home games so we can get some momentum established outside of Oracle.'” — Poole
- “If Warriors beat Jazz tonight, they would be 30-5. Of the 18 NBA teams to start 30-5 or better, 10 made Finals. All 10 won title” — ESPNStatsInfo via Elias Sports Bureau
- “Enes Kanter will start tonight vs. Golden State. Quinn Snyder says players don’t lose starting jobs because of injury.” — Steve Luhm, Salt Lake Tribune
- “With Kanter returning to the lineup, Rudy Gobert will come off the bench, Derrick Favors will return to the center spot” — Tony Jones, Salt Lake Tribune
- “Jazz heath update: Trevor Booker did not shootaround and is doubtful vs. Golden State because of the stomach flu.” — Luhm
- “Rodney Hood won’t play tomorrow, Jazz PR says, but the rookie participated in parts of practice today.” — Aaron Falk, Salt Lake Tribune
