Injury Report: Warriors ‘hopeful’ Stephen Curry can return in March

The Golden State Warriors provided an update to the timetable for Stephen Curry’s return from his broken hand injury.

From the minute Stephen Curry broke his hand early in the season against the Pheonix Suns, fans of the Golden State Warriors have patiently been waiting for the calendar to flip to the month of February.

February was the target month for an official update on Curry’s injury, and true to their word, the Golden State Warriors laid out a new timetable for his recovery. Still, more waiting is on the horizon.

Curry has missed all but four games for Golden State during the 2019-20 NBA season, and that number will continue to grow.

Golden State announced Curry would be re-evaluated again in four weeks. Yet, they are hopeful he can “return to action at some point in March.”

The two-time Most Valuable Player has been rapidly progressing through his rehab lately, appearing everywhere you look with the Warriors. Curry was recently cleared to travel with the Warriors on the road and was spotted going through a pregame warm-up before Golden State tipped off against the Boston Celtics.

With the Warriors having lost 15 of their last 16 games and owners of the worst record in the NBA, expect Golden State to continue taking the cautious approach.

Getting him back on the floor next to D’Angelo Russell will help Bob Myers and Steve Kerr get a better look at Golden State’s potential backcourt of the future. However, beyond shaking off the rust and gaining comfort next to Russell, patience is key with Curry’s injury.

If Curry was able to return March 1, he would be eligible to play in the Warriors’ final 22 games on the season.

Watch: Injured Steph Curry does pregame shooting warm-up in Boston

Stephen Curry is still rehabbing from his broken hand injury, but before the Warriors tipped off against the Boston Celtics he went through a shooting warmup.

As the Warriors started their five-game road trip with a pair of losses, Golden State got a quick dose of positive news from one of their injured “Splash Brothers.” Before tipping off against the Boston Celtics, a familiar face joined the pregame festivities.

Stephen Curry is still rehabbing his broken hand. Yet, during the month of January, the two-time Most Valuable Player has made progress with his injury that’s kept him out all but four games this season.

Curry has been traveling with the team and participating in shooting workouts since having the pins removed from his surgically repaired hand. The injured All-Star took another step in his rehab on Thursday in Boston.

Before the game started, Curry was running around the court, going through a pregame shooting warmup. Warriors assistant coach Bruce Fraser was working with Curry, guarding him throughout the workout.

Before Curry wrapped up his pregame workout, he was spotted knocking down some of his signature long-distance shots.

Curry is scheduled to have his hand evaluated by the Warriors in February, with a report from Marcus Thompson III of The Athletic saying he could return in March.

In the meantime, seeing Curry off the bench and back in his natural habitat, launching three-pointers is a positive sign for a struggling Golden State Warriors’ squad.

Jacob Evans sent to hospital after taking elbow to face vs. Mavericks

Jacob Evans took a trip to the hospital after taking a scary elbow against the Dallas Mavericks.

As each day turns on the calendar, another injury pops up for the Golden State Warriors. Whether it’s at the top of the roster with D’Angelo Russell, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, or the bottom of the rotation, hits keep coming to the Golden State Warriors.

The latest injury came in the second quarter against the Dallas Mavericks when Jacob Evans left the game after taking an elbow directly to the face. Evans was rattled after catching an inadvertent elbow from Mavericks forward, Dwight Powell.

Evans went down on the floor for a few minutes before being escorted to the locker room with team trainers. Evans was able to walk to the locker room slowly with help after taking the violent elbow to the face.

There’s been no official report on what injury Evans sustained from the hit. However, the Warriors did take him from Chase Center in San Francisco to the hospital. According to the Golden State Warriors’ public relations staff, Evans’s trip to the hospital is for further testing.

More updates will follow on the injury to the second-year guard.

Injury Report: D’Angelo Russell and Draymond Green ruled out vs. Kings

The Warriors will be without another pair of All-Star talents against the Sacramento Kings.

As the Golden State Warriors season progresses into the new year, their already lengthy injury report grows longer. Golden State has already been without Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Kevon Looney for a majority of the 2019-20 season. Against the Sacramento Kings, another pair of All-Stars will be out with injury.

D’Angelo Russell (shoulder) and Draymond Green (ankle) have both been ruled out for the Warriors matchup in California’s state capital against the Kings.

Monday will mark Russell’s fourth consecutive game the former All-Star will miss with a shoulder injury that he suffered against the Dallas Mavericks last week. Russell collided with Luka Doncic late in the game and has been hampered with a nagging shoulder since.

Before the Warriors tipped off against the Detroit Pistons over the weekend, Steve Kerr said he would “expect” the Louisville, Kentucky native to be ready for their matchup with the Kings. Still, Golden State is being cautious with their 23-year-old point guard, holding him out another game.

Russell returned to practice Sunday; however, he will still miss the Dubs matchup with their Northen California rival.

Green will join Russell on the bench with an ankle injury that caused him to sit out from practice over the weekend. The former Defensive Player of the Year was ejected in the Warriors in Saturday night tilt against the Pistons. Green’s already missed eight games this season with a sore heel and a finger injury.

Alec Burks has carried Golden State with Russell injured, scoring 28 and 27 on different nights. Behind Burks, Glenn Robinson III has also played well with Russell out, dropping 25 against the San Antonio Spurs on New Year’s Eve.

With Green ejected against the Pistons, Spellman turned in one of his best games as a member of Golden State. The Villanova product added 23 points on 8-of-11 shooting, including a perfect night from beyond the arc on four attempts.

Without Green and Russell, Kerr will have to continue to rely on Burks, Robinson III and Spellman.

DJ Chark week-to-week with ankle injury, Ronnie Harrison ready to return from concussion

DJ Chark Jr. will be week-to-week after injuring his ankle Sunday against the Chargers.

As expected, Jacksonville Jaguars safety Ronnie Harrison will be good to take the field for Week 15’s game against the Oakland Raiders after missing the team’s last two games. Doug Marrone told the media that the second-year safety cleared the concussion protocol in Monday’s conference call, which is a big positive as the Jags’ defense struggled in the backfield Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Marrone also provided an update on receiver DJ Chark, who was seen leaving the locker room in a boot and on a scooter after sustaining an injury Sunday against the Chargers.

Harrison sustained his injury in the first quarter of the Jags’ Week 12’s game against the Tennessee Titans after making a tackle on tight end MyCole Pruitt. As a result of the injury, the Jags thrusted Andrew Wingard into Harrison’s role, giving the undrafted rookie two starts.

Chark, on the other hand, sustained his injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Chargers while defensive back Jaylen Watkins was making a tackle on him. In the process of trying to get extra yardage and fight through the tackle, Chark seemingly injured his ankle and was helped to the locker room after being ruled questionable on the night.

LB Myles Jack and CB Tre Herndon ruled questionable vs. Bucs, 2 others ruled out

The Jags may have to face the Bucs’ explosive passing attack down three players on the back seven.

The Jacksonville Jaguars could be without several members of their back seven Sunday against the Tampa Bay Bucs as multiple players from the group were on the final injury report. The most notable name on the list was starting MIKE LB Myles Jack (knee), who was ruled questionable alongside starting cornerback Tre Herndon (shoulder).

Both Jack and Herndon were limited Friday. However, Jack missed Wednesday and Thursday’s practice. If neither or just one player can go, the Jags could find themselves in a bad situation as the Bucs’ offense is ranked fourth in passing and third in points.

The Jags will also be without safety Ronnie Harrison Sunday after he sustained a concussion against the Tennessee Titans Week 12. He was in the process of bringing down Titans tight end MyCole Pruitt and incidentally collided with teammate Jarrod Wilson on the way down. As a result, he didn’t practice all week.

The last player listed on the injury report was tight end Seth DeValve (oblique), who has missed the Jags’ previous two games. Once again, he didn’t practice all week and fans will have to wait until next week for a possible return.

The Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans’ Week 12 game was expected to be physical and it’s seemingly already taking a toll. Safety Ronnie Harrison went to the sidelines late in the first quarter with a concussion and was ruled out not too soon afterward.

The injury occurred on a 20-yard reception to Titans tight end MyCole Pruitt. Harrison appears to have collided with Jarod Wilson while bringing him down and was slow to get up afterward.

The Jags replaced Harrison with Andrew Wingard as a result of they injury. He came into the game with eight tackles and already has two since replacing  Harrison.

Jaguars Week 11 injury report: TE Seth DeValve (oblique) listed as doubtful vs. Colts

The Jags will only have one player who may not suit up against the Colts in TE Seth DeValve.

With their bye week occurring last week, the Jacksonville Jaguars will be very close to 100% as they travel to Indianapolis to take on the Colts. However, there was one player who surfaced on the injury report and that was tight end Seth DeValve, who was ruled doubtful with an oblique injury.

DeValve was added to the injury report Thursday with safety Ronnie Harrison (eye) and was listed as limited upon his initial placement on the list.

Though it’s just one injury, DeValve’s situation could affect the Jags in a big way because it leaves them with just two tight ends in Josh Oliver and Ben Koyack. Before having their current trio, the Jags lost both James O’Shaughnessy (ACL tear) and Geoff Swaim (ankle/concussion), who were placed on injured reserve.

The Jags have rookie tight end Charles Jones on their practice squad who they could promote to the main roster. They also could sign a free-agent if they don’t feel comfortable with going into Sunday’s game with two tight ends.

On the positive side, linebackers Quincy Williams and Leon Jacobs, offensive linemen Brandon Linder and Cam Robinson, receiver Dede Westbrook, nickelback D.J. Hayden, and defensive lineman Calais Campbell will all play after being listed on Thursday’s report.

Jags add Ronnie Harrison, Seth DeValve to injury report but still have full participation

The Jags had full participation in practice Thursday, but added Ronnie Harrison and Seth DeValve to their injury report (vs. Colts).

Just as they did Wednesday, the Jacksonville Jaguars had full participation Thursday as the team continued to prepare for the Indianapolis Colts. However, there were two new additions to the report in safety Ronnie Harrison (eye) and tight end Seth DeValve (oblique), both of whom were limited.

Defensive lineman Calais Campbell (back), offensive tackle Cam Robinson (knee) and center Brandon Linder (shoulder) remained limited participants just as they did Wednesday. However, with the final injury report set to be released Friday, it’s possible all three could be upgraded Friday as their two days of limited participation might be a good sign for game day.

Receiver Dede Westbrook and nickelback D.J. Hayden remained full participants with their neck/shoulder injuries, which is a sign that they won’t miss Week 11’s game as they did Week 9 against the Houston Texans.

Linebackers Quincy Williams and Leon Jacobs also remained full participants with their respective hamstring injuries.

Jags list 3 players as limited on initial injury report for Week 11

The Jacksonville Jaguars released their first injury report since returning from their bye week Wednesday and every player participated in practice. However, there were three players who were limited in defensive lineman Calais Campbell, center Brandon Linder (shoulder) and offensive tackle Cam Robinson (knee).

Wednesday marked the first time in which Linder and Campbell surfaced on the injury report for their respective injuries, but both  could be precautionary measures. As for Robinson, he was sideline for half of the preseason after recovering from a left ACL tear from 2018. He also hyper-extended his right knee in early September, however, with him being limited it appears the injury he’s listed for isn’t severe.

Receiver Dede Westbrook and nickelback D.J. Hayden were full participants Wednesday with neck/shoulder injuries. Meanwhile, linebackers Leon Jacobs and Quincy Williams also had the same status with hamstring injuries.
