Tonight, the Golden State Warriors are set to take on the Utah Jazz, followed by a return home clash with the LA Clippers on Wednesday. But hold on, the Warriors will be right back in Salt Lake City for another game on Thursday night, making up for a postponed match between the teams a few weeks ago.
The Dubs have their eyes set on extending their winning streak to five games, aiming to achieve a winning record for the first time since their Christmas duel with the Denver Nuggets when they were 15-14.
In terms of injuries, both teams seem to have a pretty relaxed injury report. However, the most notable absence will be on the coaching sidelines, with head coach Steve Kerr unable to attend Monday’s game. Kerr, along with assistant coaches Ron Adams and Chris DeMarco, trainer Rick Celebrini, executive Zaza Pachulia, and general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr., traveled to Serbia for Dejan Milojević’s funeral on Sunday. Lead assistant Kenny Atkinson will take charge in Kerr’s absence.
Now, let’s take a look at the injury report for the players on both teams.
For the Warriors:
Out — Chris Paul (left hand fracture)
CP3 continues to be sidelined, missing his 16th consecutive game. While there hasn’t been an update lately, he's expected to return soon, especially with just three games left before the All-Star break.
Questionable — Gui Santos (left knee soreness)
Santos has been in and out of the rotation lately, showing flashes of a potential breakout. Hopefully, he's fit to play in this one.
For the Jazz:
Questionable — Otto Porter Jr. (left foot soreness)
Porter, previously with the Warriors, had a tough time with the Toronto Raptors due to injuries. He hasn't made his Jazz debut yet, and a buyout might be on the cards.
Questionable — Brice Sensabaugh (left hip soreness)
The rookie, drafted 28th overall, has had limited playing time this season, appearing in just four games for a total of 12 minutes.
So, get ready, Dub Nation, for some exciting basketball action!
