Injury Report: Warriors will be without trio of players vs. Suns

Steve Kerr will be without three of his offensive ball-handling options against the Phoenix Suns.

Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson aren’t the only members of the Golden State Warriors dealing with injuries. The Warriors will be without three players against the Phoenix Suns, limiting their roster to only eight members.

Jordan Poole, Ky Bowman and Draymond Green will all be out against the Suns due to injury. Poole is dealing with a right ankle sprain that he suffered when rolling his ankle against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. The rookie has been flourishing as Golden State’s starting point guard over the past several games.

Another Warriors rookie sprained his right ankle when the Lakers were in San Francisco. Bowman went to the locker room with under two minutes remaining against the Lakers. An MRI revealed Bowman suffered a lateral ankle sprain that will be “monitored over the next few days,” according to the Warriors.

Outside of Golden State’s two backcourt rookies, the Warriors’ former Defensive Player of the Year will also be out against Devin Booker and the Suns. Green has only played 10 minutes in the Warriors’ last three contests. Green was ejected against the Lakers and missed the previous two games due to a pelvic contusion. Green will be out with left knee soreness against the Suns, his 15th game missed due to injury this season.

Without their trio of injured players, the Warriors will start Damion Lee, Andrew Wiggins, Dragan Bender and Marquese Chriss against the Suns, according to Anthony Slater of The Athletic.
