Warriors reportedly showing trade interest in Pelicans C Yves Missi

The Golden State Warriors are actively probing the trade market for New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi after learning they will likely receive no on‑court help from Kristaps Porzingis this season. According to In the N.O. reporter Shamit Dua, the Warriors have reached out, but Pelicans coach Jamahl Mosley is protecting Missi, who is currently nursing a left‑knee bone bruise. Missi, a 2024 first‑round pick, averages 9.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in 19.5 minutes this year and carries a $3.5 million salary (guaranteed $5.6 million next season). The Warriors could pair his modest contract with a deal involving Herb Jones or Moose Moody to address their defensive woes and depth issues, though significant draft assets may be required.

Boogie Cousins calls out a Warriors problem that’s older than Curry

Former center DeMarcus "Boogie" Cousins blasts the Golden State Warriors' chronic center shortage, saying the lineup—often featuring a tallest player of just 6‑foot‑6—"doesn't work." He references the ongoing Kristaps Porzingis saga, where the Latvian big man is out with a private health issue and the team is even debating voiding his contract. Cousins, who briefly joined the Warriors in 2018‑19 after a torn Achilles, argues the franchise built around Stephen Curry lacks belief in his own system. The article ties his rant to the team's 0‑3 start and highlights the lingering hole at the five‑position that has plagued the Warriors since the 1970s.

The Suns’ new-look lineup is making life harder for Booker

After a 43‑point outburst against Golden State, Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker sputters with just three points on 1‑of‑7 shooting in a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Oct. 26. The article examines how the Suns’ new‑look lineup and a cramped schedule—only three games played by the team so far—are exposing inconsistencies in Booker’s game, citing his lack of three‑point attempts against Portland and his defeated body language. It also questions whether the Suns should consider a trade before the December 15 deadline, given Booker’s dip from his former All‑NBA form.

Warriors vs. Timberwolves injury report: Yaxel Lendeborg is questionable

The Warriors snap a three‑game losing streak with a 134‑114 road blowout of Denver, but the injury list keeps growing. Yaxel Lendeborg, who’s averaging 21.8 points, 9.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists, is listed as questionable after left‑foot inflammation in Monday’s win. Golden State also remains without Jimmy Butler III (right ACL repair), Moses Moody (patellar tendon repair) and likely Kristaps Porziņģis. Minnesota loses Anthony Edwards to knee surgery (out until around New Year) and Donte DiVincenzo to Achilles repair. The game tips off 5:00 p.m. PT on NBC Sports Bay Area.

How to watch Warriors vs. Timberwolves

The Golden State Warriors close their first road trip with a 5 p.m. PT showdown against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center on Oct. 28, streamed on NBC Sports Bay Area. After a 134‑114 win over Denver, Steph Curry (24‑point perfect shooting) and rookie Yaxel Lendeborg (31 points) aim to extend the momentum, while the Wolves, now 3‑1, lose Anthony Edwards to knee surgery for up to two months. Former Warrior Jonathan Kuminga, now with Minnesota (11.5 pts, 5.8 reb per game), could see a bigger role against his old club.

3 Kristaps Porzingis trades Warriors must seek out to bolster roster amid ongoing healthy mystery

The Warriors are weighing trade options for Kristaps Porzingis as his battle with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome leaves his future in doubt. With a two‑year, $40 million extension that leaves only $3 million guaranteed for 2027‑28, Golden State can move an expiring contract. Three potential deals are outlined: a package to Milwaukee for Myles Turner and Ryan Rollins, a lower‑cost swap for Memphis’ Isaiah Stewart, and a pricier bid for Brooklyn’s Nic Claxton that would likely require a first‑round pick. Each scenario balances immediate roster help against salary‑cap flexibility while Porzingis’ health remains uncertain.

Preview: Kuminga wanted the ball, now he gets it vs Warriors

The Minnesota Timberwolves host the Golden State Warriors on Oct. 28, 2026, in a showdown that puts former Warriors rookie Jonathan Kuminga against his old team. After a $46.8 M deal with Golden State, Kuminga was traded to Atlanta, then signed a two‑year, $13 M contract with Minnesota. He’s now averaging 11.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and shooting 47% from three, and Coach Chris Finch expects him to finally get the ball. With Anthony Edwards sidelined by knee surgery and LaMelo Ball stepping up, Kuminga could face his former squad, while Warriors’ Yaxel Lendeborg is questionable with a foot injury. Draymond Green is healthy, adding extra intrigue to the matchup.
