Injury Report: Steph Curry (tailbone) probable vs. Bulls, Eric Paschall (wrist) out

Prior to the Warriors’ tilt against the Bulls on Monday, Steph Curry (tailbone) is listed as probable, but Eric Paschall has been ruled out.

During the Golden State Warriors’ four-game losing skid, Steph Curry has been sidelined with a tailbone contusion. In a contest against the Houston Rockets, the seven-time All-Star fell after backpedaling near the sideline. While Curry has missed the last five games, the Warriors have recorded a 1-4 record during that span.

After two-days off over the weekend, the Warriors could be getting a much-needed boost against the Chicago Bulls on Monday. After starting the day listed as questionable, the two-time Most Valuable Player has been upgraded to probable against the Bulls at Chase Center.

Although Curry is trending towards a return to the lineup, the Warriors will be without Eric Paschall. The second-year forward will be sidelined against the Bulls with a wrist injury on Monday night.

Paschall has played limited minutes since returning from the league’s health and safety protocol, but is averaging 9.5 points on 49.6% shooting from the field with 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 17.2 minutes off the bench this season.

If Curry can return on Monday, Jordan Poole will likely slide back to a scoring role in Golden State’s second unit. With Curry out, Poole impressed in the starting lineup, averaging 20.4 points on 46.1% shooting from the field with 3.6 assists and 2.6 rebounds in five games.

Golden State needs all the offensive firepower they can get on Monday with Chicago’s All-Star guard Zach LaVine arriving at Chase Center on Monday. The UCLA product is averaging a career-high 27.9 points on 51.8% shooting from the field.

The Warriors will welcome the Bulls to the Bay Area on Monday at 7 p.m. PT.
