After winning four straight games, the Warriors have now dropped the last five. They are now 9-29 on the season in the wake of a 111-98 loss to the Kings on Monday night.
Immediately after the game, the team parted ways with Marquese Chriss, clearing the way for Damion Lee to join the Warriors on a full-time basis.
