Good news for the Warriors. Stephen Curry is no longer on the injury report, according to ESPN’s Anthony Slater (Twitter link). Curry hasn’t played since Nov. 26 due to a quad injury.
The future Hall of Famer will suit up against the Timberwolves on Friday but two Golden State frontcourt players won’t be available. Draymond Green will miss the game for personal reasons, while Al Horford continues to be sidelined by a nerve issue in his back.
Here’s more injury-related news:
- The Wizards list four prominent players — Bilal Coulibaly, Corey Kispert, Alex Sarr and Khris Middleton — as out for their game against Cleveland on Friday (Twitter link). However, one key player isn’t on the injury report. Lottery pick Tre Johnson, who has been sidelined since Nov. 21 due to a hip flexor, is expected to suit up.
- The Grizzlies list seven players as out for their against Utah on Friday. Star guard Ja Morant isn’t one of them. Morant is considered questionable to play. A right calf strain has sidelined him since Nov. 15.
- Suns star guard Devin Booker will return either Sunday against the Lakers or next Thursday against the Warriors, according to Arizona radio host John Gambadoro (Twitter link). Booker hasn’t played since Dec. 1 due to a groin injury. Jalen Green, who has only played two games this season due to a hamstring strain, is tracking toward a return just after Christmas, Gambadoro adds.
- The Mavericks list big man Daniel Gafford as doubtful to play against Brooklyn on Friday due to right ankle injury management, Grant Afseth of the Dallas Hoops Journal tweets.
- The Trail Blazers’ Robert Williams (illness) and Yang Hansen (facial contusion) won’t play against New Orleans tonight, the team’s PR department tweets. Both players were originally listed as questionable.
- Jordan Poole is available to play for the Pelicans tonight, the team’s PR department tweets. He has been out since Nov. 4 due to a left quad strain.
Question is, when the Pels finally get their players back, will they win some games??
No
Won tonight.
True but they werent fully healthy lol
Tre Johnson — another 18-19 yr old who is not ready to play with men ….. G-league is safer.
Has Williams ever played ……….
a game for the Blazers ????
Yes
I would love to see Morant play for Warriors and somehow reach his full potential.
Yikes !! That’s almost as bad as the guy who says the Warriors should trade for DNP Lopez…, the third Lopez brother.
Of course he had another great game tonight versus the Rockets.
I think their 2 big men went off for a combined 40 against the Clippers’ big men. Yup, the Warriors want that guy.
I know Morant has been a major troublemaker, injury proned, and missed too many games in the last 2-3 years, so it’s very risky. That being said, he’s still young, one of the most athletic, and has potential to carry the torch. There’s no denying Morant has had proven success in nba and was once one of young faces of nba along with Donavan Mitchell, Anthony Edwards, Doncic, Shai, Tatum, etc. Kerr and our trio can’t rehabilitate this guy? I think Lacob might like that challenge?? Idk, I’m just brain storming how Warriors can have a young stud with “it” factor to carry the torch. He has low trade value now….
You’re not wrong. I just wanted the opportunity to write about DNP Lopez lol
There’s something to be said about buying low on a guy, that’s for sure.
Ja gets hurt because of his aggressiveness. sGA doesn’t because he pushes off and takes fadeaway or flops into people making him look aggressive. SGA is smarter but a terrible fan experience. I think SGA is the (boring) future and Ja will be the next Rose.
Aircastle, that’s an interesting observation. I think it’s spot on.
You don’t have the assets to get Morant.
Morant for Draymond, Moody and Podz works on the money side of things and GSW has up to 6 FRP and swaps available…
Zubac is 28 yrs old. And last year was his best yr as a all around player. Players peaking at 28. Who new.
Clippers will have to make a move. To salvage this year. DeM is probably their best target imo.
Good teams don’t trade away their best player.
Who’s a good team here. You are not getting it !!!
One has nothing to do with other. Kings don’t need Zubac.
The Clippers are on record of wanting DeM. He’s from LA and all that. It’s a good move for them. I am not saying to trade Zubac. I’m saying Zubac has improved and gotten getter at age 28. Something for all the haters here who think 20 yr olds should save your teams.
The Warriors only 3 targets in a big trade involving Kuminga+Dray should be:
1. Giannis
2. Zubac
3. Sabonis
Add Turner. He fits Warriors system pretty well.
What system is that even anymore? Turner isn’t a 6’2″ SG, so he has no place in idiot Kerr’s 2020’s “system”…
So tonight Kerr is starting Pat Spencer, Buddy Hield and Steph Curry all together. Hmm, I wonder how much defense will be played by this too-small lineup? I bet terrible!
Why can’t Kerr do the right thing? Buddy is tiny, he isnt a forward, he also stinks this year and is the worst guard on the team. Just play Moody instead of Buddy, his defense destroys Buddy’s…
I despise how badly Kerr treats Kuminga and Moody, just disgusting coaching, what an abject failure this guy is at his job, Free the Golden State Warriors from Kerr’s idiocy!
