If the Warriors plan on getting the seventh seed for the NBA Playoffs, Steve Kerr is well aware that they will need to play some great basketball down the stretch.
Don't expect Kelly Oubre to take the court Thursday night for the Warriors.
The 6-foot-7 lefty is listed as doubtful for Golden State's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves because of left wrist soreness.
Oubre has sprained the wrist twice this season, and was sidelined for five games earlier this month after a hard foul in the Dubs' home loss to the Washington Wizards.

"It's getting better gradually," the 25-year-old told the media last week. "But I don't really give things time to heal because I just want to play."

"Mind over matter," he said. "I don't allow it to -- try not to."
Oubre went 1-for-7 from 3-point range Sunday night vs. the Sacramento Kings, and 2-for-7 on Tuesday night against the Dallas Mavericks.
