The Golden State Warriors are in desperate need of a win tonight, when they visit the Detroit Pistons in the fourth stop on their six-game road trip. It certainly won’t be easy, as the Pistons boast an Eastern Conference-best 50-19 record. It is made easier by the fact that Detroit will be without their superstar point guard … but then again, so will the Warriors.
Here’s the full injury report for both teams for the 4:30 p.m. PT game.
**_Out_ — Steph Curry (right patellofemoral pain syndrome)**
The Warriors keep expressing optimism that we’ll see Curry before the season ends, but we’re running out of time. This is his 20th consecutive absence, and there are only 12 regular season games on the schedule after leaving the motor city.
**_Out_ — Jimmy Butler III (right ACL surgery)**
Butler, on the other hand, has no chance of returning this year, but we all knew that. Hopefully his rehab and recovery are going well following January’s ACL tear.
**_Out_ — Moses Moody (right wrist sprain)**
Moody’s injury initially didn’t appear serious, but it has really lingered. This will be his ninth straight game on the sidelines, which is a big bummer given how well he was playing before sustaining the injury.
**_Out_ — Al Horford (right soleus strain)**
This isn’t the usual case of Horford resting because the Warriors have a back-to-back ([they visit Jonathan Kuminga](/general/109348/hawks-jonathan-kuminga-out-on-friday-but-expected-to-play-against-warriors) and the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night). No, Horford is straight up injured, and his status for the rest of the season is in doubt.
**_Out_ — Quinten Post (right foot injury management)**
Thank goodness that Kristaps Porziņģis is healthy, since the Dubs are without their other two centers. Given that this is just an injury management day for Post, I would assume that he’ll be on the court on Saturday.
**_Out_ — Seth Curry (left adductor strain)**
Still just four games played this year for the younger Curry brother. What a bummer of a year for him.
**_Available_ — LJ Cryer (left hamstring injury management)**
After being sidelined for two games, Cryer returns. He’ll certainly see action tonight, given the number of names that aren’t available.
SB Nation’s cast of characters will be enjoying the game together, so join Chris Dobbertean, Mike Rutherford, Ricky O’Donnell, Mark Schofield, James Dator, and others for 12 hours of basketball chaos!
**_Out_ — Cade Cunningham (left lung pneumothorax)**
Cunningham was putting together quite an MVP campaign before suffering a collapsed lung. Thankfully that’s not quite as scary or serious as it sounds, and it’s still expected that the young superstar point guard will be ready to rejoin the Pistons before the playoffs.
**_Out_ — Isaiah Stewart (left calf strain)**
Beef Stew is having a typical solid year, averaging 10.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game. He’s a menace in the paint, so his absence is a blessing for a Warriors team that is missing Horford and Post.
**_Out_ — Marcus Sasser (right hip soreness)**
Sasser has struggled with injuries this season, including missing Detroit’s first 23 games. Now he’s back on the sideline after playing nine consecutive games.
**_Out_ — Bobi Klintman (G League assignment)**
A second-round pick a year ago, Klintman remains very raw. He’s appeared in just 19 games over his two NBA seasons.
**_Questionable Available_ — Jalen Duren (right ankle soreness)**
The first-time All-Star this year was listed as questionable, but was just announced as good to go. That’s bad news for the Warriors, and means the Dubs are going to need some serious defense and rebounding from Porziņģis and Draymond Green.
**_Questionable Out_ — Kevin Huerter (right shoulder contusion)**
Similarly, Huerter was listed as questionable, but was ruled out shortly before tip.
Enjoy the game, Dub Nation!
