Golden State Warriors injury report before the showdown against the Suns

Let’s start off with the most important question: Will Stephen Curry suit up against the Suns? Well, the Warriors guard returned to the court in the last game after missing out on the Jazz matchup. Curry logged 21 points against the Thunder, contributing heavily to the win! Furthermore, he’s available for tonight’s matchup and is expected to suit up.

While Curry’s availability is a sigh of relief for the Dubs faithful, they’ll be without two key players tonight. Who? You might question. Warriors will miss forward Jonathan Kuminga, who’s out with an ankle injury. The 22-year-old is set to be re-evaluated in the coming weeks. So far, Kuminga has been solid averaging 16.8 points, five rebounds, and 2.2 assists, so his absence will be a huge blow for the Warriors.

Moreover, veteran Draymond Green will also watch this clash from the sidelines. Green has sustained a calf injury ruling him out. Although the Warriors will miss these two forwards, it’s not something they can’t navigate through. On the other hand, taking a look at their opponents who are without any injuries. This might serve as a concern for Steph Curry and the Warriors as they look to build momentum heading to the latter stages of the season.

With Kuminga and Green unavailable for this one, coach Steve Kerr will have to make some tweaks to his lineup tonight.

Moreover, we can also see rookie Quinten Post clock in more minutes.
