The Golden State Warriors are, mercifully, wrapping up their six-game road trip tonight. No matter what happens against the Dallas Mavericks, the six-city jaunt has been a struggle and a failure … but they can at least end it on a high note.
Thankfully, there might be reinforcements. Here’s the full injury report for both teams.
Warriors
Out — Steph Curry (right patellofemoral pain syndrome)
This is the 22nd straight missed game for Curry, though it’s finally looking like a return is around the corner. He should
practice this week, which is a big step in the right direction.
Out — Al Horford (right soleus strain)
Not sure when we’ll see Horford back in the lineup. It’s certainly not out of the question that his season is over.
Out — Jimmy Butler III (right ACL surgery)
No new news on Butler, which is probably a good thing given that he’s still 10 or so months away from returning.
Out — Quinten Post (right foot injury management)
The Dubs will be down at least two centers tonight. Post continues to nurse an aching foot, as he — and the team — limp to the finish line. He certainly hasn’t been at his healthiest, or best.
Out — Seth Curry (left adductor strain)
Curry is still hoping to get back on the court and play more than just four games this season, but it’s no sure thing.
Questionable — Moses Moody (right wrist sprain)
After 10 straight games on the sidelines — he hasn’t played in March — Moody could rejoin the Dubs tonight. Wouldn’t that be great to see!
Probable — Kristaps Porziņģis (left low back injury management)
When Porziņģis left Saturday’s game with back pain, I didn’t think we’d see him again fro a while. Backs are tricky things, especially for players who have injury histories as extensive as Porziņģis. Him getting back on the floor would be huge, especially with Post and Horford out.
Probable — De’Anthony Melton (left hand contusion)
Melton’s play has been hot-and-cold lately, but there’s no denying that the Warriors need him, especially with Curry out.
Mavericks
Out — Kyrie Irving (left knee surgery)
Irving hasn’t played this season, and that’s not going to change. His focus is on getting healthy for next year.
Out — Brandon Williams (concussion protocol)
After playing just 74 games, combined, from his debut season in 2021-22 through last year, Williams has finally found a home in Dallas, playing in 60 games and averaging 12.8 points per game. Unfortunately, a concussion has kept him out for a week.
Out — Dereck Lively II (right foot surgery)
Lively has a lot of promise, but has been bit hard by the injury bug. After a strong rookie season, he’s played in just 43 games in two years since. He’s out for the year.
Out — Caleb Martin (right heel contusion)
Martin’s been out for the last week, and that won’t change today. He’s averaging a career-low 3.9 points per game this year.
Enjoy the game, Dub Nation! It tips off at 6:30 p.m. PT on NBC Bay Area and Peacock.
