The Golden State Warriors are visiting the Denver Nuggets tonight, hoping to achieve a four-game winning streak for the first time since January 19. That comes after beating the Washington Wizards on Friday, which gave the team their first three-game winning streak since … well … January 19. Which followed a Wednesday victory over the Brooklyn Nets, giving Golden State their first two-game winning streak since … you guessed it … January 19.
So they’re cooking! And while they’re certainly facing a better
and healthier team in the mile high city, the Warriors are getting some reinforcements, as both Quinten Post and Seth Curry are listed as available. Assuming Curry plays, it will be just his fifth game of the season.
Here’s the full injury report.
Warriors
Out — Steph Curry (right patellofemoral pain syndrome)
The Warriors will re-evaluate the older Curry brother this week, and we’ll hopefully learn that a return is coming. This is Curry’s 25th consecutive game on the sidelines, and there are only seven more regular season contests left after this one.
Out — Jimmy Butler III (right ACL surgery)
Butler is continuing to rehab his knee, which was injured on — back to the date we go — January 19.
Out — Moses Moody (left patellar tendon surgery)
Moody underwent successful surgery on Saturday, and now a long and lengthy rehab period begins. Here’s hoping it’s a smooth recovery for Moody.
Out — Al Horford (right soleus strain)
We saw Horford on Friday, when he joined the broadcast booth and his bobblehead was handed out. Hopefully that’s not our final memory of Horford on the Warriors.
Out — Will Richard (left heel soreness)
The Warriors will be missing a key bench piece with Richard out, making it even more critical that Seth Curry is returning.
Nuggets
Out — Aaron Gordon (left calf tightness)
Gordon isn’t the Nuggets best player — that title firmly belongs to Nikola Jokić. But he is a player who regularly torches the Warriors, so they’ll be happy to not face him.
Enjoy the game, Dub Nation. It tips off at 7:00 p.m. PT on NBC and Peacock.
