Needless to say, it\u2019s a critical eight-game stretch that could define what the team does at the trade deadline \u2026 and how they fare for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It\u2019s been a disappointing year for both the Warriors (19-18) and the Bucks (16-20), but on the bright side, both teams are fairly healthy at the moment \u2014 no sure thing for these two squads. Here\u2019s the full injury report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Out \u2014 Seth Curry (left sciatic nerve irritation)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Same old, same old for Seth. He\u2019s still only played two games as a Warrior. Though he was phenomenal in one of those games!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Questionable \u2014 Gary Payton II (left ankle sprain)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Payton has been playing a bigger role lately, and has often been the backup to Draymond Green as the four on defense \u2026 impressive, given his height (or lack thereof). If he\u2019s able to play today, don\u2019t be surprised to see him defending Giannis Antetokounmpo on a few occasions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Probable \u2014 Draymond Green (left ankle sprain)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">For a brief moment, it looked like Green might have to miss a significant chunk of time given how much pain he was in when crashing into the bench on Monday. Thankfully, it seems he\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Out \u2014 Taurean Prince (neck surgery)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Prince played in just eight games this season (his 10th in the association) before having surgery on his neck to repair a herniated disc. That\u2019s serious business, and he doesn\u2019t have a timetable for a return. Hopefully he can make a full recovery and get back on the court this year or next.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">And that\u2019s the injury report! It\u2019s sparse, thankfully. Enjoy the game, Dub Nation. It tips off at 7:00 p.m. PT on NBC Sports Bay Area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Golden State Warriors begin an eight-game homestand tonight, when they host the Milwaukee Bucks.
