Injuries have run rampant across the Golden State Warriors season, and it hasn’t stopped yet, with the latest hit coming to Eric Paschall.
Paschall left the Warriors game against the New Orleans Pelicans early in the second quarter. He quickly went to the locker room, followed by Warriors head trainer, Rick Celebrini.
Paschall was later ruled out for the remainder of the game with a knee injury. Paschall was seen coming up awkwardly in the first quarter when JJ Redick fouled him.
The ball was lobbed over the top to Paschall, and Redick slipped and rolled under him, the rookie then came up hobbling.

Paschall, who is putting together a sneaky campaign for Rookie of the Year, has recently been dealing with a case of injuries. The Villanova product missed two-recent contests with a sore hip injury that been nagging his play.
Its a surprise, and alarming that the Warriors are ruling Paschall’s injury a knee problem and not his hip that’s been bothering him. The Warriors announced he will undergo further evaluation.
Eric Paschall (right knee injury) will not return tonight. He will be further evaluated.
