Draymond Green Won't Return on Thursday Night

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (foot) won't return to Thursday's meeting with the 76ers. On a night when the Dubs were without Stephen Curry (quadriceps) and Jimmy Butler III (knee), the team would lose Green before the end of the first half. The 35-year-old finished this one with three points, three rebounds, and one block. It's logical to assume he'll undergo further testing to determine the extent of the injury. For now, fantasy managers should be prepared to see Green's name on the injury report heading into Saturday's game in Cleveland. If he can't suit up, head coach Steve Kerr has plenty of options regarding the rotation, although Jonathan Kuminga, Buddy Hield, and Pat Spencer could see the biggest bump in minutes.

Quinten Post Set to Suit Up Versus Philadelphia

Golden State Warriors center Quinten Post (ankle) will be active against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. He has shaken off a questionable tag on the initial injury report for a left ankle sprain. Post will go up against a Sixers frontcourt that will have Joel Embiid (knee) back in action, which puts him in an unfavorable position to perform well fantasy-wise. The 22-year-old big man is averaging 6.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists across 16.1 minutes per game during 22 outings this campaign.

Al Horford Available on Thursday

Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that Golden State Warriors forward/center Al Horford (back) will play Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Horford has been out of action for four consecutive contests due to sciatica. Through 10 outings this season, the 38-year-old veteran center is averaging 21.8 minutes per game. However, he may be assigned a heavier workload than expected upon his return, with veterans Stephen Curry (quad) and Jimmy Butler III (knee) sidelined.

Jonathan Kuminga Cleared for Action on Thursday Night

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) will play on Thursday in Philadelphia. The 23-year-old has played sparingly since returning from a seven-game stint on the shelf. However, with Stephen Curry (quadriceps) and Jimmy Butler III (knee) both sidelined, Kuminga could be a top offensive contributor for the Dubs on Thursday night, especially if he ends up getting the start.

De'Anthony Melton to be Capped at 20 Minutes on Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) is available for Thursday's meeting with the 76ers. He hasn't played in nearly a year after suffering a partially torn ACL during a game versus the Dallas Mavericks last December, resulting in surgery. Melton will likely have some rust to shake off in his first game back from a lengthy layoff, so it's unknown how impactful he will be offensively. However, the 27-year-old could at least make life a little more difficult on the defensive end for Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, and others. With head coach Steve Kerr indicating Melton will be capped at 20 minutes of action, he should be considered a desperation streaming option (at best) for deep-league fantasy participants.

Trayce Jackson-Davis Set to Suit Up Thursday

Golden State Warriors center Trayce Jackson-Davis (knee) has been upgraded to available for Thursday's tilt with the Philadelphia 76ers. Jackson-Davis was out of action for two games due to soreness in his right knee. With Al Horford (back) and Quinten Post (ankle) listed as questionable for this evening, it remains to be seen if the 25-year-old big man will have an expanded role in his return.

Jimmy Butler III Sidelined Thursday

According to Anthony Slater of ESPN.com, Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler III (knee) is unavailable versus the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. Butler played only 15 minutes during Tuesday's clash with Oklahoma City, exiting the contest due to a sore left knee. Gary Payton II started the second half in Butler's spot, posting 13 points, five rebounds, and five assists. Buddy Hield was assigned extra time on the floor as well while Butler was out of action, logging 28 minutes. Hield also collected 12 points, four rebounds, and two steals in the 124-112 Warriors loss. Both players provide fantasy value with Butler sidelined this evening.

Jonathan Kuminga Iffy for Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) is on the injury report with a questionable tag ahead of an encounter with the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. Since returning from a knee issue, Kuminga has played in two games. Now, he may have to miss time due to a sore right ankle. Golden State is battling the injury bug right now, and many players would have added fantasy value if the team goes into Thursday night's game with a depleted lineup. Stephen Curry (quadriceps) remains unavailable, while Jimmy Butler III (knee), Al Horford (sciatica), Quinten Post (ankle), and Trayce Jackson-Davis (knee) are all listed as questionable, alongside Kuminga.

Jimmy Butler III Listed as Questionable for Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler III (knee) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's tilt against the Philadelphia 76ers. The veteran star played only 15 minutes in Tuesday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder, exiting the action with a sore left knee. Gary Payton II started the second half in Butler's place, notching 13 points, five rebounds, and five assists. Buddy Hield also had a larger workload without Butler, logging 28 minutes off the bench. He finished with 12 points, four rebounds, and two steals. Both players would have more fantasy value if Butler sits out Thursday's action.

Draymond Green Probable for Tuesday Night

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (foot) has been listed as probable for Tuesday's Western Conference showdown against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The veteran continues to deal with a right midfoot sprain, which caused him to miss one game last week. However, the probable designation indicates that Green will be good to go against the Thunder. Green had a very quiet outing in this season's first meeting with the defending champions, finishing a 126-102 loss on Nov. 11 with three points, two rebounds, four assists, and one steal. If Green suffers a setback and can't play, Quinten Post could be in for a busy night in the Warriors frontcourt, especially with Al Horford (sciatica) remaining out on Tuesday.

Jimmy Butler III Questionable to Play Tuesday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Jimmy Butler III (glute) is considered questionable for Tuesday's clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Warriors are already without Stephen Curry (quadriceps) and may now face the defending champions without two of their top scorers. Butler III is averaging 20.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.6 steals during his first full season with the Warriors. His exit from the lineup would likely give Jonathan Kuminga a chance to return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in back-to-back games. Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody will be used more on the offensive end, boosting their fantasy appeal.

De'Anthony Melton Eyeing Road-Trip Return

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) will miss at least two additional games and is targeting his season debut on the team's upcoming road trip. Melton averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.2 steals in 20.2 minutes last year, but he will need to win minutes from Brandin Podziemski once active. Podziemski logged 14 points, four rebounds, and two assists in his last outing, and rookie Will Richard added 18 points with six rebounds. Melton profiles as a deeper-league stash until his role becomes clearer.

Jonathan Kuminga Questionable Ahead Of Pelicans Matchup

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against New Orleans after missing seven straight contests, though he has resumed full 5-on-5 activity and appears close to returning. Kuminga logged several strong lines before the injury, including 25 points with 10 rebounds and 24 points with eight rebounds, and he could take on extra usage with Stephen Curry (quadriceps) sidelined. His return would likely trim Moses Moody's workload.

Stephen Curry Expected To Miss About A Week With Quad Injury

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (quadriceps) is expected to miss roughly a week after suffering a contusion Wednesday, creating extra backcourt opportunities in the rotation. Veteran guard Jimmy Butler III has averaged 22.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 6.2 assists across his last five games, including a 21-point, five-rebound, five-assist performance Wednesday, and he should hold firm rest-of-season value. Third-year guard Brandin Podziemski also stands to see a usage bump, bringing 13.0 points on 40.0 percent shooting over his last five contests. Podziemski lines up as the short-term streamer while Curry recovers.

Jonathan Kuminga Hoping to Return on Saturday Versus Pelicans

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is hoping to return for Saturday's game against New Orleans. The 23-year-old, who recently scrimmaged on Wednesday afternoon, is working his way back from a knee injury, keeping him off the floor for the Dubs' last seven contests. Before going on the shelf, he was having a down year, averaging 13.8 points, a decrease from the 2025 campaign. However, with Stephen Curry (quadriceps) at risk of missing time after suffering a quad contusion in Wednesday's NBA Cup loss to the Houston Rockets, Kuminga may see a bump in scoring opportunities, which could certainly make his presence on fantasy rosters more tolerable for frustrated managers. With that said, fantasy managers should consider Kuminga questionable heading into Saturday's meeting, with a more definitive update on his status likely coming on Friday night, when the official injury report is released.

Stephen Curry to Undergo an MRI

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (quadriceps) will undergo an MRI after suffering a quad contusion in Wednesday's NBA Cup loss to the Houston Rockets. The multi-time All-Star had a rough time getting his shots to fall on Wednesday night, and he would go on to finish with 14 points while shooting 2-for-9 from behind the three-point line. The Warriors don't play again until Saturday versus the New Orleans Pelicans, so there's a chance he might suit up. Of course, the team will play it safe, considering Curry has sustained numerous injuries throughout his lengthy career. Fortunately for the Dubs, Jonathan Kuminga (knee) could be back on Saturday, which would certainly help lessen the blow caused by Curry's potential absence. Jimmy Butler III should also take on more of the scoring load, with Brandin Podziemski, who had 14 points against Houston from off the bench, potentially working his way into the starting lineup.

Gary Payton II Hurt in Wednesday's Loss

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II (ankle) was limited to five minutes of action on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. The veteran sprained his left ankle during the first half. Golden State also lost Stephen Curry (quadriceps) on Wednesday night, meaning the rotation could look very different in Saturday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Payton II has averaged 11.1 minutes per game across the season, posting 3.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.5 assists. If Payton II misses time, Pat Spencer and Gui Santos may receive more playing time off the bench, although they are not significant contributors in fantasy basketball.

Stephen Curry Diagnosed With Quadriceps Contusion

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry has been diagnosed with a quadriceps contusion and is set to undergo an MRI. Curry was hurt while attempting to draw a charge on Amen Thompson in Wednesday's 104-100 loss to the Houston Rockets, causing him to miss the end of the game. While Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was relieved after the game that Curry didn't suffer an ankle or a knee injury, he might still have to miss time. The Warriors get back to work on Saturday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Curry's exit from the lineup would boost Jimmy Butler III's usage rate, while players like Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody may also benefit.

Jonathan Kuminga Sent to G League on Wednesday

Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports that Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) has been assigned to the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Wednesday. Currently, there isn't a timetable on when the 23-year-old will be back with the Warriors. He will likely participate in scrimmages, but will not see any live action with Santa Cruz. Before sustaining a knee injury, Kuminga was averaging 13.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 27.7 minutes per contest across 13 appearances.

Draymond Green Will be Questionable for Wednesday Against the Rockets

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (foot) will be questionable for Wednesday night's matchup against the Rockets, according to coach Steve Kerr. Green has missed two of the last three games and is currently working through a right mid-foot sprain. After he practiced on Tuesday, Kerr said Green is "definitely trending upward," which suggests he has a good chance to return to action on Wednesday. In his 16 games, he's averaging 8.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 28.7 minutes per game. His return would likely push Quinten Post back to the bench.
