For Tuesday’s game, the Warriors have announced their injury report.
They have ruled out Jimmy Butler, Al Horford, Moses Moody, Quinten Post and Gui Santos.
Steph Curry and LJ Cryer are both probable, while Kristaps Porzingis is questionable.
Curry This Season
Curry made his return to action (for the first time since January) on Sunday.
He finished the loss with 29 points, two rebounds, four assists and one steal while shooting 11/21 from the field and 5/10 from three-point range in 26 minutes of playing time.
Being listed as probable is a good sign that Curry is back to playing regularly following the injury.
Jason Timpf of The Volume wrote (on Sunday): “I don’t think there has ever been a more terrifying player to have a 5-10 point lead against with 5 minutes left than Steph Curry. His team is quite literally never dead until that buzzer sounds.”
Porzingis This Season
Porzingis has missed a lot of time this season, but he has been playing as of late (and has been a big addition to the team).
Right now, the 2018 NBA All-Star is averaging 16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 blocks per contest while shooting 44.3% from the field and 32.8% from three-point range in 13 games for the Warriors.
Cryer This Season
Cryer did not play in Sunday’s loss to the Spurs.
He is currently averaging 8.2 points and 1.6 rebounds per contest while shooting 39.6% from the field and 39.3% from three-point range in 17 games.
