Warriors Injury Report: Latest Update on Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, as Golden State Faces Bitter Rivals the Grizzlies Tonight

The Golden State Warriors are having a horrible 2023-24 season. Before the start of the season, many fans expected the Warriors to challenge for the title, but the reality has been quite the opposite. Dubs have struggled to pick up wins on a consistent basis. And for their fans who have grown accustomed to their beloved team winning, this season has been a disappointing ordeal.

GSW are facing the Memphis Grizzlies in their next match. However, the Warriors’ fans face an anxious wait, as the availability of star players Klay Thompson and Draymond Green remains uncertain for tonight’s game.

The probable defence

The game between the Warriors and the Grizzlies is scheduled to tip-off by 8:00 PM, Eastern Time at the FedExForum in Memphis. The game promises to be an enthralling watch, as the Warriors and the Grizzlies share a fierce rivalry. Even in the absence of key players such as Ja Morant and Desmond Bane, the Grizzlies have proven to be a formidable opponent, securing a notable victory against the Warriors on January 15th. However, the Warriors will be bolstered by the fact that Draymond Green will most likely play in the match.

Predicted Lineups: Grizzlies vs Warriors

Like the Warriors, the Memphis Grizzlies have also struggled this season. However, they have been one of the unluckiest teams, as injuries have decimated their roster. But this gives Memphis the opportunity to experiment and give young/fringe players a chance, and they have done exactly that.

In recent weeks, players like GG Jackson and Jacob Gilyard have produced some stellar performances. They could start the game with Jacob Gilyard, John Konchar, Vince Williams Jr., Santi Aldama and Jaren Jackson Jr.

The Warriors go into the game as favorites. However, the Grizzlies will play without pressure, as there’s no expectation for them to make it into the playoffs. On paper, it looks like a straight-forward victory for the Warriors. But despite facing an injury crisis, Memphis has demonstrated their ability to outperform the Warriors. The Warriors could begin the game with Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Klay Thompson, Jonathan Kuminga and Draymond Green.
