The Golden State Warriors are hosting the Philadelphia 76ers in their final game before the 2026 NBA trade deadline … which could prove to be a huge day for the Dubs. On paper, the Warriors and the Sixers are two of the most star-stacked teams in the league. In reality, well … those stars are almost all going to be wearing street clothes.
Yep, it’s role players against role players and backups against backups at the Chase Center. Here’s the full injury report for both teams.
Warriors
Out — Steph Curry (right
patellofemoral pain syndrome)
Curry is being described by the Warriors as day-to-day with what is commonly known as “runner’s knee.” Hopefully he doesn’t miss much time. The Warriors, as you probably have noticed, aren’t very good without him.
Out — Jimmy Butler III (right ACL tear)
Butler won’t play tonight and he won’t play for many months, but this could potentially be the final Warriors game on his paycheck. It certainly seems like he’ll be with the Dubs through the trade deadline, but I can’t imagine the Warriors will let him be a holdup in their Giannis Antetokounmpo pursuits.
Out — Jonathan Kuminga (left knee bone bruise)
It’s much more likely that this is Kuminga’s final game with the organization, even though he won’t be playing, either. Hopefully he’s healthy soon, be it for the Warriors or for someone else.
Out — Seth Curry (left sciatic nerve irritation)
The younger Curry was recently re-evaluated and will be re-evaluated again in two weeks. It’s been a tough season for him, as he’s only appeared in two games.
Out — LJ Cryer (left hamstring injury management)
I always feel bad for two-way players when they’re not healthy for a game where the team is missing a lot of players. It likely would have been a good opportunity for Cryer to get on the court.
Probable — Moses Moody (left knee soreness)
Thankfully it appears that Moody will be able to go tonight, despite dealing with some knee soreness.
76ers
Out — Joel Embiid (right ankle injury management; right knee injury management)
Embiid has quietly put together a wonderful season. He’s been healthier than anticipated — he’s only played 29 games, but that’s 10 more than last year — and, after a slow start, he’s starting to resemble the player that won an MVP not long ago. The Warriors are fortunate to be missing him, but it’s a bummer for fans.
Out — Paul George (league suspension)
Just as the Sixers were starting to click, George went and got a 25-game suspension for an illegal substance. Oops.
Enjoy the game, Dub Nation. It tips off at 7:00 p.m. PT on NBC Sports Bay Area.
