The Golden State Warriors are finally back at home tonight, as they host the Brooklyn Nets in their first Chase Center game since March 13. Things are going very poorly for the Dubs. Despite winning their last game, an overtime contest against Klay Thompson and the Dallas Mavericks, the Warriors have lost 10 of their last 13 games. The season is slipping away from them quickly, and it feels like a new player gets injured every game.
As such, they’re missing a lot of players tonight. Here’s the full injury report for both teams.
Out — Steph Curry (right patellofemoral pain syndrome)
The Warriors were openly hoping that Curry could get back to practicing this week, but that hasn’t happened. Not yet, at least. This will be his 23rd consecutive game on the sidelines.
Out — Moses Moody (left patellar tendon surgery)
This one still hurts. Moody returned on Monday after a lengthy absence, and suffered a gruesome non-contact knee injury. It ended his season, and will likely cost him much of next season as well.
Out — Jimmy Butler III (right ACL surgery)
Unfortunately, Moody is no the only Warriors player to suffer a season-ending knee injury this year that carries a recovery time of about a year.
Out — Al Horford (right soleus strain)
With the Warriors season falling apart every day, it wouldn’t surprise me if Horford is shut down.
Out — Quinten Post (right foot injury management)
Post, like the team as a whole, is limping to the finish line.
Out — Malevy Leons (illness)
I always hate seeing the young players who don’t get a lot of opportunities missing games where they would likely get big minutes.
Out — Seth Curry (left adductor strain)
It wouldn’t surprise me if the younger Curry doesn’t play again this year. He’s played just four times.
Out — Michael Porter Jr. (left hamstring strain)
MPJ has had an absolute breakout year, but suffered a hamstring strain about a week ago. With the Nets already eliminated, his season might be over.
Out — Noah Clowney (right wrist sprain)
Clowney is also having a breakout season of sorts, and has also been out for about a week.
Out — Nolan Traore (rest)
Are the Nets tanking? Look no further.
Out — Egor Dëmin (left plantar fascia injury management)
Dëmin had a very strong rookie season as one of Brooklyn’s many first-year players. He averaged 10.3 points per game, but is out for the year.
Out — Day’Ron Sharpe (left thumb surgery)
Sharpe had arguably the best season of his five-year career. He also is out for the year.
Out — Danny Wolf (left ankle sprain)
Wolf, another one of Brooklyn’s rookies, is having a strong year, with 20.8 minutes and 8.9 points per game. He isn’t expected to miss the rest of the year.
Enjoy the game, Dub Nation!
