The Golden State Warriors failed to beat a Southern California team on Saturday. They’ll try again tonight. Two days after a blowout loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Warriors are hosting the LA Clippers tonight at the Chase Center. The good news is that the Clippers aren’t playing very good basketball these days. The bad news is that the Warriors are, once again, the walking dead.
Here’s the full injury report.
Warriors
Out — Kristaps Porziņģis (illness)
Yep, unfortunately, Porziņģis is still out. Steve Kerr
unfortunately created some unnecessary drama by speaking about whether or not Porziņģis has POTS, but regardless of the answer to that, the one-time All-Star will miss his fifth straight game. He’s only played once since the Warriors acquired him nearly a month ago.
Out — Will Richard (right ankle sprain)
This is a big loss for the Dubs. Richard has been playing wonderfully lately, and is so important to everything they do on defense. Speaking of defense…
Out — Gary Payton II (left ankle impingement)
No Richard and no GPII spells bad news for Golden State’s perimeter defense. Some people will have to step up.
Out — Steph Curry (right patellofemoral pain syndrome)
It’s an 11th straight missed game for Curry. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like we’re going to see him anytime soon.
Out — Jimmy Butler III (right ACL surgery)
It’s been more than a month since Butler tore his ACL. I still feel bummed writing this segment of the injury report.
Out — Seth Curry (left sciatic nerve irritation)
Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear as though we’ll see either Curry brother anytime soon.
Clippers
Out — John Collins (neck soreness)
Collins is have a strong first year with the Clippers, and he’s been fairly healthy. This will be just his sixth absence of the season.
Out — Bradley Beal (left hip fracture)
No new news here, as Beal suffered a season-ending injury right at the start of his Clippers tenure. A bummer to see.
Enjoy the game, everyone! It tips off at 7:00 p.m. PT on Peacock and NBC Sports Bay Area.
