Warriors Make Roster Move After Stephen Curry Injury..
The Golden State Warriors picked up a 119-101 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night, but superstar guard Stephen Curry picked up an ankle injury along the way. In the wake of this development, the Warriors made a roster move on Tuesday ahead of their upcoming game against the New York Knicks. Curry rolled his ankle during the contest against the Hornets, but he was ultimately able to finish the game, scoring 21 points, dishing out 10 assists, and hauling in three rebounds. After the game, Curry stated that he believes he will be able to play against the Knicks, but that he also won’t push himself if his body is not ready. “It’s a minor tweak, it feels alright right now. It’s just cold from the ice tub, but that’s alright,” Curry said per Anthony Slater of The Athletic. “I think I’m going to play but if my ankle says I shouldn’t play, then I won’t play.” It’ll be all hands on deck if Curry can’t go against the Knicks on the second night of a back-to-back, which led the Warriors front office to make a roster move ahead of this game. Reports revealed that the team converted Pat Spencer’s two-way contract to a standard contract, ensuring he will be with the NBA squad moving forward. “The Warriors are converting two-way guard Pat Spencer to a standard
contract, sources say,” Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report shared in a post on X.

Knicks news: Marjon Beauchamp arrives Jalen Brunson eyeing new award Warriors matchup..
Clutch might just be running through Jalen Brunson’s veins.
March may be synonymous with college basketball madness, but the NBA is reaching a boiling point with injuries, playoff positioning, and historic chases dominating headlines. Among the teams with the most at stake? The New York Knicks.
Sitting third in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks are on pace for a historic season. With 40+ wins already under their belt, they’re inching toward their first back-to-back 50-win seasons since 1994-95 — a testament to their dominance and consistency under Tom Thibodeau.
But this isn’t just about making history. This is about bringing an NBA championship back to New York for the first time since 1973. Before looking ahead to the bigger picture, let’s break down the key storylines shaping the Knicks’ final stretch of the season.

Knicks bolster depth with free agent signing
The Knicks added another defensive piece to their roster, signing MarJon Beauchamp to a two-way contract, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Beauchamp, who started the season with the Milwaukee Bucks, was dealt to the Los Angeles Clippers at the trade deadline before being waived. While his offensive numbers don’t jump off the page (4.2 PPG on 42.8 percent FG), his 6’6 frame and 7’0 wingspan bring valuable versatility to a Knicks team looking to solidify its defensive identity.
Although playing time may be limited, his addition signals that the Knicks aren’t done making moves. The Westchester Knicks also acquired center Moses Brown this morning, hinting that he could be a potential call-up, along with veteran T.J. Warren.
With Mitchell Robinson back in the rotation, could Thibodeau expand to a 10-man lineup to help preserve his starters’ health?
Jalen Brunson: Captain Clutch
If there’s one area the Knicks have dominated, it’s closing games in the clutch.
The NBA defines the clutch as when the scoring margin is within five points in the final five minutes—and no one has been more reliable in those moments than Jalen Brunson.
Brunson has been a closer in every sense of the word, putting up 77 points on 44 FG attempts in the final five minutes of close games over the last 10 contests. His efficiency? 59 percent from the field, 58 percent from three, and 86 percent from the free-throw line.
