Nate Williams Joins Golden State on Two-Way Deal

According to Jake Fischer, the Golden State Warriors are signing guard Nate Williams to a two-way contract. The 27-year-old has averaged 17.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in the G League this season and will likely spend most of his time with the affiliate. With Jimmy Butler (knee) out for the season and Stephen Curry (knee) working back from injury, Golden State adds wing insurance. Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski remain the primary beneficiaries for minutes. For now, Williams looks like extra depth for the roster and isn't someone you need to consider in standard fantasy leagues.

Will Richard Out Wednesday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Will Richard (knee) won't play on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. He is battling a right knee contusion, and Golden State has downgraded Richard from questionable to out. After having some standout moments early in the campaign, Richard has not been a major part of the rotation in recent weeks. Across this month, he has been limited to 16.5 minutes per game. De'Anthony Melton, Gary Payton II, and Brandin Podziemski will absorb Richard's minutes on Wednesday night.

De'Anthony Melton Available Wednesday Night

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (glute) will play on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been upgraded from questionable to available. Melton has been a starter for three consecutive games, averaging 10.7 points and 2.7 steals in 24.6 minutes. The 27-year-old will be a crucial defensive piece against San Antonio's backcourt, which is spearheaded by De'Aaron Fox. Offensively, this is a bad matchup for him, as San Antonio ranks third in defensive efficiency.

De'Anthony Melton Iffy for Wednesday Night

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (glute) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's clash against the San Antonio Spurs. He is nursing a glute contusion and may come out of the lineup after appearing in five consecutive games. Melton has been a starter for each of the last three contests. If Melton is a no-go on Wednesday night, we may see Brandin Podziemski return to the first unit. He has also been a big part of the rotation off the bench, but a starting role would make Podziemski an even more appealing fantasy option.

Jimmy Butler III Undergoes ACL Surgery

Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler III (knee) underwent successful surgery on his torn right ACL on Monday, the team announced. The veteran star suffered the season-ending injury on Jan. 19. Golden State added that Butler's progress won't be updated until "early next season." Butler will likely be sidelined for a large chunk of the 2026-27 campaign. With Butler III out, the Warriors brought in Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) to bolster the frontcourt. He is expected to make his team debut after the All-Star break. In the meantime, Gui Santos will have additional fantasy value. The Brazilian forward is averaging 15.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.3 steals this month.

Stephen Curry Won't Play in All-Star Game

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) has been ruled out for the 2026 All-Star Game. This essentially means he also won't play on Wednesday versus the San Antonio Spurs. Curry is dealing with patellofemoral pain syndrome, also known as runner's knee. He has been out for four games. Golden State hopes Curry will be back in the lineup after the All-Star break, when the team continues the season with a matchup against the Boston Celtics on Feb. 19. Pat Spencer has taken over as the starting point guard, averaging 16.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.5 steals across the past four games.

Stephen Curry Still Out Monday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) will sit out a fourth consecutive game on Monday versus the Memphis Grizzlies. There's no clear timetable for Curry's return, but it seems likely he'll remain out through the All-Star break. On Saturday, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters there's a "good chance" Curry won't play before the break. With Curry out, Pat Spencer operates as Golden State's starting point guard. There have also recently been starting roles for De'Anthony Melton and Gui Santos, while Brandin Podziemski has been tasked with providing a spark off the bench.

Kristaps Porzingis Targeting Post-All-Star Break Debut

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) is expected to wait until after the All-Star break to make his team debut as the organization continues to prioritize a cautious ramp-up. The 30-year-old big man has yet to suit up following his trade and remains in recovery mode. His delayed return keeps Golden State's frontcourt stable for now, with Draymond Green and Al Horford holding steady roles. Gui Santos has quietly emerged as a fantasy-relevant piece, averaging 15.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 4.3 assists over his last three starts. Santos profiles as a short-term deep-league add, while Porzingis remains a stash with clear shutdown risk baked in.

Stephen Curry May Remain Out Until After All-Star Break

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) is considered doubtful for Monday against Memphis, with the team signaling caution that could keep the veteran sidelined until after the All-Star break. Curry has already missed three straight games, and Golden State has leaned on committee production. Pat Spencer has delivered 15.7 points, 3.7 three-pointers, 5.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.3 steals in 28.9 minutes during the absence, making him a viable short-term streamer. De'Anthony Melton adds defensive juice with 3.0 steals, while Brandin Podziemski offers steady minutes but a lower ceiling. Moses Moody's scoring spike also warrants monitoring.

Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out Saturday Against Lakers

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) will sit out Saturday against the Lakers as the team continues to manage his left Achilles following a midweek trade. His next opportunity to return is Monday versus Memphis. With Porzingis unavailable, Golden State is expected to keep Draymond Green and Al Horford anchoring the frontcourt in stable roles. There is also a quiet opportunity on the wing, where Gui Santos has earned consecutive starts and averaged 15.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists across his last two games.

Stephen Curry Out Saturday, Doesn't Have Timeline for Return

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) doesn't have a timeline for his return, ESPN's Anthony Slater reports. The former MVP is set to miss a third straight game on Saturday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Curry has been dealing with "runner's knee" for a while. With Curry sidelined, Gui Santos has made back-to-back starts, providing a little bit of everything. At the same time, backcourt players like De'Anthony Melton and Pat Spencer also have more fantasy appeal. They slotted into the starting lineup as well on Thursday against Phoenix, with Spencer producing a team-high 20 points.

Kristaps Porzingis Unlikely to Debut Saturday vs. Lakers

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) traveled with the team to Los Angeles on Friday but is unlikely to play Saturday against the Lakers as he continues to recover. Acquired on Wednesday in a trade that sent Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield out, Porzingis has not appeared since Jan. 7. He has played just 17 games this season, averaging 17.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 three-pointers, and 1.3 blocks in 24.3 minutes. When healthy, Porzingis would command significant frontcourt usage, reducing Al Horford's minutes and easing the scoring burden on Stephen Curry, though durability remains a concern.

De'Anthony Melton Will Play Against Suns

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) will be active on Thursday night against the Phoenix Suns, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. He was initially considered questionable for the game due to a sore left knee. Melton has enjoyed a productive campaign as a reserve guard in San Francisco, averaging 13.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.6 steals across his last eight outings. With Stephen Curry (knee) out, Melton can make an even larger impact.

Warriors Acquire Kristaps Porzingis

Forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) will end the season with the Golden State Warriors, who acquired him from the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield. The Warriors attempted to lure Giannis Antetokounmpo away from the Milwaukee Bucks but failed, settling for the Latvian big man. According to ESPN's Anthony Slater and Shams Charania, Porzingis has been on Golden State's radar since his Boston days. Unfortunately, it has been another season marked by health issues for Porzingis, who appeared in only 17 games for the Hawks after they brought him in from Boston in the summer. He has done well when healthy, averaging 17.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.3 blocks. Golden State sees him as a good fit in the frontcourt next to Draymond Green, so Porzingis could enjoy a big finish to the season if he can stay healthy.

Stephen Curry Remains Sidelined on Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) won't play on Thursday versus Phoenix. He's dealing with a case of runner's knee and is considered day-to-day. However, with the All-Star break right around the corner, fantasy managers may not see him back on the floor for another week or two. While Curry is out of commission, guys like Moses Moody, Brandin Podziemski, Gui Santos, and De'Anthony Melton should benefit the most on the offensive end.

Kristaps Porzingis Questionable Versus Utah

Atlanta Hawks center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is questionable heading into Thursday's meeting with the visiting Jazz. The 30-year-old was on track to return on Tuesday against Miami after sitting on the shelf since the loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on January 7. Unfortunately, he wasn't feeling well and was ruled out. With Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) also questionable, Christian Koloko may draw another start. However, he had only two points and two boards versus the Heat, so he's certainly not a suitable waiver option in any fantasy format.

Stephen Curry Ruled Out for Tuesday's Matchup With Sixers

According to Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) won't play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. Curry didn't practice on Monday and is considered day-to-day due to soreness in his right knee. His next chance to return to the lineup is on Thursday against Phoenix. While Curry is out of action, De'Anthony Melton, Brandin Podziemski and Pat Spencer could be utilized as short-term streaming options.

Stephen Curry Exits Early Against Pistons with Knee Issue

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) did not return Friday against Detroit after dealing with right knee soreness, wrapping up the night with 23 points, two assists, one rebound, one block, and 25 minutes before heading to the locker room in the third quarter. Curry was noticeably limited before his exit and should be viewed as questionable for Tuesday against Philadelphia. De'Anthony Melton has already been operating with an expanded role following Jimmy Butler's (knee) season-ending absence and continued to deliver with 18 points, five rebounds, and three assists. If Curry misses additional time, Melton's usage and minutes could climb further, while Pat Spencer, Brandin Podziemski, and Will Richard would see modest bumps in deeper fantasy formats.

Gui Santos Available Against Pistons

Golden State Warriors forward Gui Santos (calf) has been cleared for action and will play on Friday against the Detroit Pistons. The team has upgraded Santos from probable to available ahead of tip-off. Santos is coming off a season-best 16-point performance against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. On Friday, he will go up against a much better team and a tighter defense, making it difficult for Santos to replicate his performance.

Draymond Green • PF • Warriors

Draymond Green Expected to Return Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (back) is listed as probable for Wednesday's clash against the Utah Jazz. The veteran, who is dealing with a minor back issue, sat out Monday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves as Golden State wrapped up a back-to-back set. Al Horford (toe) is also on track to return, meaning Gui Santos and Quinten Post will likely head to the bench. The Warriors have an excellent fantasy matchup on Tuesday, facing an opponent that pushes the pace but struggles defensively. Green has posted 8.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game in January.
