Steve Kerr mades a somber statement about the Warriors' health.

Injuries have not treated the Golden State Warriors well this season. After injuries to Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry effectively ended the Dubs' season last year in the playoffs, this regular season has not turned things around in that department.

Even when looking beyond the major injuries that both Butler and Curry have dealt with this season — Butler being out for the season due to a torn ACL and Curry set to potentially miss 20+ consecutive games due to a lingering knee injury — the rest of the roster has been terrorized by semi-major or minor injuries that keep the rotation and lineups out of sync.

There was a concentrated example of this on Friday night, as three different players left with injury during the Warriors' 127-117 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, not to mention Draymond Green's late scratch just half an hour before tipoff.

Steve Kerr's Somber Statement

After the game, Steve Kerr was not shy about expressing his ire at the accumulation of these injuries and how they have limited the Warriors' capabilities on the court.

"We're going through it, for sure. You saw how hard the guys played. They stayed in it, got the fans into it. We can't ask anything more of our players right now, what they're giving effort-wise and playing together. We're about as beaten up as any team I can ever remember."

Though Kerr couldn't yet speak on the health of any of the Warriors who exited — Al Horford, Quinten Post, and Seth Curry — he did talk a bit more about how they might move forward dealing with Horford's calf injury, especially since he and Kristaps Porzingis got their first chance to start together before Horford left the game.

"With Al, with the calf strain, I have no idea how long Al will be out. But I would anticipate, with the calf, we're not going to rush him back. But once Al is back, then we'd put Kristaps in the starting lineup (with him)."

What Does The Rotation Look Like Now?

The Warriors are now embarking on a six-game road trip, starting with a back-to-back against the Knicks on Sunday and the Wizards on Monday.

If Green, Post, or Curry have to miss any extra time alongside Horford, it could get dicey in the availability department.

Currently, Brandin Podziemski and Gui Santos have to be the leaders in the starting lineup as some of the few consistently healthy players this season. Porzingis will likely join them as a starter when he can, particularly if Horford and Post are out, considering that would eliminate most of the big man rotation.

On that front, the Warriors signed former Heat and Jazz center Omer Yurtseven to a 10-day contract, potentially expecting to need his height.

De'Anthony Melton is likely to start if he's healthy, too, but he's still not fully out of the woods from his ACL rehab. Off the bench, it'll have to be a ton of two-ways and former G-Leaguers, such as Pat Spencer, LJ Cryer, Malevy Leons, etc., led by Gary Payton II and Will Richard, the rookie who now seems like a veteran amongst all of the G-League call-ups. 

It's an unfortunate situation, no matter how the Warriors manage to spin it. All they can hope for is that most of the injuries suffered on Friday aren't major, and that the team can get healthy by the time the Play-In Tournament rolls around.
