Golden State Warriors face a crucial Western Conference test as they travel to take on the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night. However, injuries continue to cast a shadow over their preparations, with several key names either sidelined or racing against time for fitness.
Major blow as Steph Curry ruled out again
The biggest setback for Golden State remains the absence of franchise star Steph Curry. The veteran guard has been ruled out as he continues his recovery from a right knee injury.
While there is optimism surrounding his return, the Warriors have confirmed that Curry will be re-evaluated on Tuesday, leaving the team without its primary offensive engine for this matchup.
Mixed news across the roster
Despite Steph Curry’s absence, there are some positive updates for Golden State Warriors. Kristaps Porzingis has been listed as probable due to lower back soreness and is expected to feature against Dallas.
De’Anthony Melton, who led the team in scoring in their recent loss, is also marked as probable despite dealing with a left hand contusion, providing a timely boost.
Meanwhile, Moses Moody could be edging closer to a return. The young guard has been listed as questionable with a right wrist sprain and may feature for the first time after a 10-game absence.
Key absentees continue to pile up
The Warriors’ injury list does not end there. Quinten Post has been ruled out due to right foot injury management, while both Al Horford and Seth Curry remain sidelined as they continue their respective recoveries.
In another long-term blow, Jimmy Butler is set to miss the remainder of the season, further thinning Golden State’s depth as they push through a challenging campaign.
Golden State Warriors aim to bounce back
Golden State enters the clash with a 33-38 record following a road loss to the Atlanta Hawks. With multiple injury concerns and key players unavailable, Golden State Warriors will need a collective effort to overcome a struggling Mavericks side and get back to winning ways.
