The Golden State Warriors slipped further into injury turmoil Friday night, losing four more players to the list, as coach Steve Kerr declared his team "as beaten up as any team I can ever remember." This latest setback, their fourth consecutive loss, has them two games back of the Portland Trail Blazers in the Western Conference standings. Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers secured a significant boost to their arena plans, as Adam Silver attended their game against the Jazz following the Oregon Legislature's approval of funds for the Moda Center refurbishment, signaling progress on the long-awaited renovations.
