Warriors guard Donte DiVincenzo injured his left hamstring during Sunday’s victory over Sacramento and won’t travel with the team to Phoenix for Tuesday’s contest, writes Anthony Slater of The Athletic.
Speaking today to reporters, including Kendra Andrews of ESPN (Twitter link), Warriors head coach Steve Kerr revealed that DiVincenzo will miss more than just Tuesday’s game, indicating that the swingman will be reevaluated in one week.
As Andrews relays, the Warriors will be in the midst of a five-game road trip at that point and haven’t yet determined whether DiVincenzo will join them on that trip, which ends on November 4.
Here are a few more injury updates from around the NBA:
- The Pelicans are listing forwards Zion Williamson (hip), Brandon Ingram (head), and Herb Jones (knee) as questionable for Tuesday’s game vs. Dallas, writes Andrew Lopez of ESPN. Williamson and Ingram left Sunday’s loss after sustaining their respective injuries, while Jones tweaked his knee during that game, but it sounds like none of the three injuries are significant. Imaging on Jones’ knee came back clean, per head coach Willie Green.
- Although Green told reporters today that Ingram wasn’t in the NBA’s concussion protocol, the Pelicans put out a press release announcing that Ingram is, in fact, in the protocol. Within the announcement, the team noted that the return-to-participation process can begin no earlier than 24 hours from the time of the injury, which is why Ingram can’t yet be cleared.
- Raptors big man Chris Boucher has been cleared to make his regular season debut on Monday after missing the team’s first three games due to a hamstring issue, tweets Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca. Scottie Barnes remains questionable for Monday with an ankle sprain, but the fact that he’ll likely be a game-time decision is a sign that the injury isn’t as serious as the team initially feared it could be, Lewenberg observes.
- In case you missed it, the Lakers ruled out two-way forward Cole Swider for at least the next four weeks due to a foot issue.
Hopefully the Pels starters can go vs Dallas but if not we should get some Dice Daniels action & this kid can play, especially defensively. More pt he gets the better as far as his development goes
They can also really use his defense at the guard spot b/c that’s a questionable spot for them outside of him
Herb & Jose are pretty elite defensively
I accidentally forgot Alvarado, and I consider Herb Jones as a 4/5
Think you’re thinking of Herb Williams.
Herb Jones is definitely a ‘wing’
Great news about Zion and Ingram!
Warriors blew it when they let McClung walk.
What hurts the most is losing payton 2. Last night there was no spark in the 2nd team.
Zion can play a college schedule…one mid-week game and one on the weekend…any more than that he gets injured.
