The Golden State Warriors are planning to play home games without fans for the foreseeable future due to coronavirus precautions.

The looming coronavirus outbreak has officially crept its way into the NBA world. In precaution of COVID-19, San Francisco issued a ban on events of 1,000 people or more for the next two weeks. Golden State Warriors’ home games will directly be influenced due to San Francisco’s ban.

Over the next two weeks, the Warriors are scheduled to host the Brooklyn Nets and the Atlanta Hawks at Chase Center in San Francisco. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Warriors are planning to play foreseeable home games without fans due to San Francisco prohibiting group events.

During San Francisco’s two-week observance Chase Center was slated to host multiple events, including live concerts such as Tame Impala and Post Malone. The G League Santa Cruz Warriors are scheduled to play the Austin Spurs in San Francisco at Chase Center.

Following Golden State’s game against the Nets, the Warriors start a five-game east coast road trip. The Dubs will return to the Bay Area on March 25 against the Hawks.

Juan Toscano-Anderson suffers sprained ankle in first minute vs. Clippers

Juan Toscano-Anderson left the game against the Los Angeles Clippers in the first minute with a sprained ankle.

The Golden State Warriors’ long list of injuries grew after tipoff against the Los Angeles Clippers. In the first minute of the game, Juan Toscano Anderson sprained his ankle and did not return.

The Oakland native has played 13 games with Golden State after being signed from the Warriors G League affiliate following the NBA trade deadline.

With injuries hampering Golden State’s roster, Toscano-Anderson has blossomed into a significant contributor for the Warriors. The Marquette product is averaging 5.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 21.3 minutes per contest.

Following the Warriors’ 131-107, Steve Kerr said the Warriors would have an update on Toscano-Anderson’s sprained ankle tomorrow.

Toscano-Anderson joined Stephen Curry (flu), Draymond Green (knee soreness) and Kevon Looney (hip soreness) on the Warriors injury report.

Without Toscano-Anderson, a mix of Dragan Bender and Eric Paschall filled his role against the Clippers. Bender tied his career-high with 23 points on 8-of-12 shooting from the field. The Croatian big-man added seven rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes.

Despite their injury woes, the depleted Warriors will only have one day off before welcoming the Brooklyn Nets to Chase Center in San Francisco on Thursday night.

Report: Warriors ‘very likely’ to soon play in front of no fans due to Coronavirus

A looming decision in San Francisco could leave the Warriors playing in front of no fans due to Coronavirus.

The NBA, along with the NHL, MLS and MLB, have limited locker room access to only players, coaches and essential personnel due to the Coronavirus outbreak.

Leagues cutting back on locker room access could only be the start of precautions against COVID-19. According to The Athletic’s Tim Kawakami, it’s “very likely” the Golden State Warriors could soon be playing games in an empty home arena.

It’s something that the league has been discussing in recent days, and is something that has been contemplated for the better part of the last few weeks. As the number of cases in the United States have increased, municipalities across the country have been taking various precautions to limit public exposure.

Before the Warriors hosted the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night, head coach Steve Kerr spoke with reporters about the potential of playing games in front of no fans.

Via Chris Alvarez ABC News Bay Area:

Yeah, It’s absolutely a possibility, and I haven’t given it a whole lot of thought. I’ve played on a couple of teams where it felt like that was the case at times. Again we’re in uncharted waters. We will cross that bridge when we come to it.

Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, Santa Clara County has banned public events in which more than 1,000 people are expected to be present. As a result, Golden State’s neighbors — the San Jose Sharks and San Jose Earthquakes — have had to either play games with no fans in attendance or temporarily relocate to new playing grounds.

The Warriors may follow suit.

Due to the outbreak, college campuses in the Bay Area have suspended classes while high schools in San Francisco have canceled events such as playoff basketball tournaments.

The Warriors will welcome the Brooklyn Nets to San Francisco on Thursday, March 12. Following the Nets game, Golden State will begin a five-game road trip. The team will return to Chase Center on March 25 when they play host to the Atlanta Hawks.

Things may be much different by that point.

Injury Report: Steph Curry (flu) expected to make return Thursday vs. Nets

Stephen Curry is expected to make his return from his two-game absence with the flu against the Nets.

After missing four months with a broken hand injury, Stephen Curry made his long-awaited return with 20 games left on the schedule. However, his reunion with the Golden State Warriors was short-lived.

Curry has been ruled out for consecutive games after being diagnosed with the flu before the Warriors contest against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday. The six-time All-Star returned to Golden State’s morning shootaround on Tuesday, but was still held out against Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers.

Yet, the two-time Most Valuable Player could be ready to return as soon as Golden State’s next game. Steve Kerr spoke to reporters about Curry’s illness before the Warriors tipoff against the Clippers. Golden State’s coach expects Curry to play against the Nets on Thursday.

Via Warriors SoundCloud:

I expect him to play Thursday. He wanted to play tonight, and we wouldn’t let him given that he hadn’t done anything the last three days. This is a good day for him to get a good workout, get some rest tonight and then workout again tomorrow and hopefully, everything goes smoothly and he’ll play Thursday night — that’s the plan.

In Curry’s first game back against the Raptors, the point guard scored 23 points on 6-of-16 shooting in 27 minutes.

If the Davidson product is healthy against the Nets, Curry will have 17 games remaining on the schedule to build chemistry with his new teammates going into the offseason.

Injury Report: Warriors will be without pair of former All-Stars vs the Clippers

Against Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and the Clippers, the Warriors will be without both Draymond Green (knee soreness) and Stephen Curry (flu).

After making his much-anticipated return to the court from a four-month injury absence, the Golden State Warriors will be without Stephen Curry again.

The two-time Most Valuable Player made his way back to the floor against the Toronto Raptors after missing 58 games with a broken hand.

The next game, Curry was ruled out against the Philadelphia 76ers with the flu. Following Golden State’s win against the Sixers, the Warriors’ point guard missed practice over the weekend.

According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Curry participated in Golden State’s morning shootaround before the Clippers game.

However, Curry is scheduled to miss his 60th game of the season after being officially ruled out against the Clippers with the flu.

Making things more difficult against Los Angeles, Curry won’t be the only All-Star caliber player out for the Warriors. Draymond Green has been ruled out for his sixth-consecutive game with knee soreness.

Without Green and Curry, Steve Kerr will have to rely on Damion Lee, Eric Paschall and Marquese Chriss against Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers.

Against the Sixers, Lee and Paschall each added 23 or more points, while Chriss recorded a near triple-double with 13 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists.

With Lee taking over point guard, Mychal Mulder started at shooting guard for the Warriors against Philadelphia. The newly signed guard added 18 points on 3-of-7 shooting from beyond the arc.

The depleted edition of the Warriors will need all the help they can get against the second-place team in the Western Conference — winners of six of their last seven.
