The Golden State Warriors and Sacramento King face off in yet another playoff rematch for the second time in less than a week. Only this time, the Kings will be missing a very big name.
The Sacramento Kings have two players listed on their injury report: De’Aaron Fox and Trey Lyles. De’Aaron Fox is out due to a right ankle sprain. Trey Lyles is out due to a left calf strain. No one else is listed on the injury report besides these two players.
The Warriors have three players listed on their injury report: Jonathan Kuminga, Dario Saric, and Klay Thompson. Jonathan Kuminga is questionable with a left knee contusion, Dario Saric is probable with a right hip contusion, and Klay Thompson is probable with right knee soreness. Steph Curry is not listed on the injury report and should be available to play tonight.
Missing De’Aaron Fox is a major loss for the Sacramento Kings. The team lost to the Warriors on October 27 when he was playing and he is easily one of the best closers in the NBA. Without Fox, the Kings will definitely have to rely more on the services of Malik Monk.
What’s going to be very fun to watch tonight is seeing Draymond Green face off against all of the Kings players for the first time since the NBA Playoffs.
The Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings face off tonight at 10:00 p.m. EST.
