The Golden State Warriors' night went from bad to worse on Friday.

Heading into the game, Al Horford learned he would make his 12th start of the year. The expectation was to play alongside Draymond Green for the night once again.

Unfortunately, Green was scratched unexpectedly. The Warriors announced that the veteran forward was dealing with a lower-back issue. 

Just five minutes into the game, the Warriors lost Al Horford as well.

As the veteran started experiencing calf tightness, he left the court and would be ruled out for the remainder of the matchup. That left the Warriors without another starter As expected, fans are simply in disbelief.

Warriors Fans React To Golden State's Latest Injury Concern...

@WarriorsAdamo: Terrible… it’s been that type of a season..

@PeeDubb2: Yup, just want we needed another injury

@ogildelgado: Something had to happen to the Warriors — Kerr’s starting five tonight was way too big.

@00000Joanna: This season is a complete waste. I hope Kerr dont get extension because this team needs a really good coach.

Heading into Friday's game against the Timberwolves, the Warriors are holding a 32-33 record. One a team with championship aspirations, the Warriors are simply fighting for a favorable NBA Play-In seed at this point. They are currently ninth in the Western Conference, sandwiched between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Portland Trail Blazers.

Jimmy Butler is out for the season with a torn ACL. Stephen Curry is dealing with a knee issue that has kept him off the court since before the All-Star break. The star guard was recently ruled out for an additional 10 days.

Now, Green and Horford are names to keep an eye on.
