The 23-year-old D'Angelo Russell could prove to be a valuable asset for the team. Russell, as well as Stephen Curry, steered the Warriors to a 124-103 victory over the LA Lakers during their pre-season game on Saturday, October 19. As a lot of changes are being made to their roster, the Warriors will have to stay at the top of their game. Durant and Iguodala's loss has had quite an effect on the team's game and identity as both were a crucial part of the team's growth. Steph Curry, who started the pre-season with a 40-point game, is also a key player for the team. The Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Clippers encounter is scheduled for Friday, October 25 at the Chase Center, California (8:00 am IST).
