After missing the last two games, Golden State Warriors rookie Eric Paschall will play Wednesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers, according to Nick Friedell of ESPN.
The second-round pick had been dealing with lingering hip soreness and did not play Friday against the Utah Jazz or Sunday as the Warriors hosted the Sacramento Kings.
Paschall will apparently not have a minutes restriction on Wednesday.
The former Villanova forward had struggled prior to sitting after totaling just 10 combined points over his last two games, shooting 25% (4-of-16) from the field.
In 25 games this season, Paschall is averaging 16.1 points, five rebounds and 1.7 assists. He is second among all rookies in total points scored and is second in field goals made.

The injury to Paschall is just the latest to hit the Warriors as 12 players have missed at least one game due to injury. Of course, Klay Thompson (ACL) is out for the season and Stephen Curry is out indefinitely after breaking his left hand.
