But on Saturday, Kerr used all 13 active players at his disposal. While 13 is a bit higher than usual, 12 has been the norm for Golden State, and 11 is more or less the bare minimum. And after Saturday's defeat, Curry hinted that it might be time to run a slightly more traditional rotation.

The Golden State Warriors have fallen back down to earth after their hot start to the season. Although still sitting at the fourth seed in the West, the news of a De’Anthony Melton injury started a slew of tough losses that put them on their heels.

The loss to the Suns marks the Warriors fourth straight as in the defeat Saturday, Kerr decided to go with a 13-man rotation, which is as deep as one team can go. When asked after the game if they should shorten the lineup, Curry would not rule it out as a potential possibility, according to Anthony Slater of The Athletic.
