Warriors Injury Report: Golden State Stretched Thin With Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green Concern vs Bulls (Dec. 7)

The Golden State Warriors have yet to submit their injury report for Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bulls. However, the team is playing the second leg of back-to-back matchups, so there likely won’t be many changes.

Steph Curry will be out against the Bulls as he continues to recover from a quadriceps injury suffered against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. He has missed the team’s last four games and is expected to be back against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday.

Green suffered a foot sprain against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday, only playing nine minutes in the loss before missing Saturday’s game. He is also unavailable against the Bulls.

Meanwhile, Butler has also missed the team’s last two games due to left knee injury management. He picked up a knock against the OKC Thunder. However, after missing two games, he is available to play against Chicago.

Seth Curry, Al Horford and De’Anthony Melton were all game-time decisions for Saturday’s game and ended up being sidelined. They could return against the Chicago Bulls. The Warriors have split the four games that Steph Curry has missed this past week after getting injured.

The team has managed to stay afloat thanks to some stellar play from Pat Spencer, who is averaging 14.0 points, 4.5 assists and 3.3 rebounds in his last four games, more than Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski’s output over the same stretch.

Steve Kerr will hope for bigger contributions from his young stars as the team’s older players, including Green, Curry, Butler and Horford, are likely to miss more games as the wear and tear of the regular season begins to take its toll.

The Bulls will be without Noa Essengue and Kevin Huerter on Sunday. Meanwhile, Isaac Okoro, Jalen Smith and Ayo Dosunmu will be game-time decisions.
