Section 415: After the 49ers’ 4-1 start, what’s a realistic outcome for this season?

“It’s a huge loss. Andre has made a big impact since he returned a few weeks ago,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “Our defense just gets dramatically better the second he steps on the floor.

The Warriors have an open roster spot, but Kerr said there hasn’t been a final determination on how it might be filled.
