Steve Kerr not ready to bench Klay Thompson

95.7 The Game: Would Kerr consider moving Klay to the bench for Poole? “No, that’s not something I’ve given any thought to. Jordan & Klay are very different players. Jordan’s on the ball, Klay’s off the ball…Klay is a starter. That 5-man unit is the …

Remember when Steve Kerr said the Rockets had a bunch of “middle linebackers?” The Blazers also have a lot of middle linebackers. – 10:01 PM

For my Book Twitter friends, Steve Kerr said he’s reading a biography about Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti. Kerr said, “I lean toward non-fiction but I enjoy a good novel too.” – 3:45 PM

Steve Kerr says Donte DiVincenzo remains on track to play Friday against Cleveland. Not sure if he’ll be on some type of minutes restriction. – 3:38 PM
Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Steve Kerr says he ‘expects’ Donte DiVincenzo tomorrow when Warriors face Cavaliers at Chase Center. – 3:37 PM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Steve Kerr says Donte DiVincenzo came through yesterday’s scrimmage and today’s practice nicely. Kerr expects him to play tomorrow against the Cavs. – 3:37 PM

Steve Kerr trusting his players on two-way contracts certainly is a good thing. It also shows the issue with the Warriors’ grand plan nbcsports.com/bayarea/warrio…1:52 PM
Mike Vorkunov @MikeVorkunov
It will never not be funny to me how the Warriors jersey is always of Draymond Green when the NBA and Nike debut them. Every team uses the team’s star player but Steph Curry is with Under Armour and Klay Thompson has a shoe deal with Anta. Green has a Converse contract. pic.twitter.com/MGKHiyASzv10:26 AM

This is what happens when Klay Thompson surprises a bunch of High School students and the unveiling of their brand new basketball gym.
Straight mob session 😂 — in all seriousness, I think Klay took a pic and signed an autograph for every single person in this video over 2hrs. pic.twitter.com/ZYWLn4FDSh8:35 PM

Steve Kerr: “When you’re struggling and don’t have a rhythm, don’t have consistency, veteran players are going to be able to provide that more than young players.” pic.twitter.com/SjHq8GQUVM5:04 PM

When asked about the Warriors bench lacking the excitement of yrs past, Steve Kerr says it’s tough to bring the energy & joy when the team isn’t winning, but it’s also important to bring those things in order to win. He says it’s a chicken before the egg conversation. #dubnation4:27 PM

“The thought process is when you’re struggling, you don’t have a rhythm, you don’t have consistency, veteran players are going to be able to provide that more than young players are.”
-Steve Kerr on playing Anthony Lamb & Ty Jerome more than Warriors youngsters. #DubNation4:23 PM
Kylen Mills @KylenMills
Steve Kerr says Jonathan Kuminga showed up to practice today with a great mindset, approach & worked really hard. Kerr says JK has really been putting his head down & working. Kerr’s comments seem to contradict reports out there about JK’s work ethic, coachability. #DubNation4:21 PM
Madeline Kenney @madkenney
Steve Kerr reiterates the team wants Andre Iguodala to be healthy for the backend of the season.
“He’s not going to play in a game anytime soon,” Kerr said. – 4:21 PM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Warriors guard Donte DiVincenzo scrimmaged today. Steve Kerr says as long as he’s cleared by the medical staff tomorrow, he’ll return to the lineup on Friday against Cleveland. – 4:18 PM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Donte DiVincenzo practiced and scrimmaged today. As long as the training staff clears him, DiVincenzo will be available on Friday against the Cavs, per Steve Kerr.
Still nothing live for Andre Iguodala. – 4:17 PM

Klay Thompson just walked over and hyped up James Wiseman after a nice fadeaway jumper through contact over coach Hilton Armstrong – 4:12 PM

Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
NBA Last 2 Minute Report confirms officials made another critical error in the Kings’ 116-113 loss to the Warriors. Klay Thompson fouled Kevin Huerter on his last-second 3-point attempt, but there was no call. Refs cost the Kings a chance to win for the second time in six days. – 4:58 PM

The Warriors started Jordan Poole in the second half last night. Steve Kerr said it was to “see if he could get going a little bit.” Here’s Kerr’s full explanation on the move. pic.twitter.com/shG8KdV0y52:36 PM
