The Golden State Warriors have yet to really be impacted by the league’s health and safety protocols, but in all reality, it seems like their eventual run-in with depth issues due to Covid-19 is just pending and will eventually arise. At this point, it seems destined to happen.

Teams like the Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets have been impacted with their best players having to be sidelined due to the virus that has cost hundreds of thousands of Americans their lives.

The Golden State Warriors should be preparing for time without some key players, and if that happens, these three will have a chance to prove their worth.

The Warriors have missed shooting guard Jordan Poole for the past few games due to the league’s health and safety protocols, but that’s really been the most it has impacted the team so far.

The Dubs are sitting atop the Western Conference which is great considering the unknown that could come in the coming weeks. With several teams having major issues and some games having to be postponed, the Dubs depth is bound to be tested.

Golden State has been reliant on Stephen Curry for much of their offense, but many others have stepped up this season. With that in mind, let’s dive into a few players that could improve their worth if the Warriors become shorthanded.
