The Golden State Warriors have faced a series of challenges early in the season, including injury woes, tough scheduling, and insufficient contributions from overburdened role players. Now, as the team prepares to face off against the Utah Jazz, an update on Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Jonathan Kuminga has surfaced.
According to NBA insider Brett Siegel, the Warriors have cleared Curry and Butler for tonight’s game. Both players were previously listed as questionable due to an ankle injury for Curry and an illness for Butler, which caused the pair to miss the team’s last game yesterday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Kuminga was also upgraded to ‘probable’ after being listed as questionable with back soreness, which has now been identified more clearly as bilateral lower back soreness. However, given that the forward has been relegated to the bench even when healthy recently, so his playing time is up to Warriors head coach Steve Kerr.
