Gary Payton II will undergo a re-evaluation in one week after suffering a mild left calf strain, according to an announcement from the Golden State Warriors.
Payton originally sustained the injury on November 21, but he re-aggravated it during the Warriors’ Christmas Day game, leading to his current status.
In addition to the player’s injury, the Warriors will also be without their superstar, Steph Curry, for Friday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to bilateral knee pain.
The team is taking precautionary measures to manage his condition, ensuring that Curry has adequate time to recover.
Draymond Green’s availability for the upcoming game is also uncertain, as he is listed as questionable due to a lower back contusion.
Green’s status will likely be evaluated closer to game time, and the Warriors are closely monitoring his recovery.
The Warriors are facing a challenging stretch, with key players dealing with injuries that could affect their performance.
With Payton, Curry, and potentially Green all sidelined, Golden State will need other players to step up in their absence as they continue their push through the season.
