Golden State Warriors Owner Rejects Tanking
Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob publicly opposed tanking, asserting it contradicts the team’s values despite a challenging season plagued by injuries, including Stephen Curry’s ongoing knee issues. Following a loss to the Boston Celtics, he emphasized, “It is not in my DNA… to do that,” dismissing calls from fans to lose games for better draft picks. Lacob expressed cautious optimism about the playoffs and welcomed Kristaps Porzingis, who scored 12 points in his debut. He echoed sentiments from Suns owner Mat Ishbia, who also condemned tanking earlier.
