Wembanyama will be absent from his second consecutive game due to a recurring right ankle sprain. The top pick in the 2023 draft has been averaging 20.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, and an impressive 3.4 blocks per game in the NBA.
Adding to their injury concerns, Warriors newcomer Trayce Jackson-Davis may also be sidelined for Saturday’s game due to a sprained right ankle.
As the Warriors strive for a favorable playoff position, they heavily rely on Curry’s health for the upcoming games. Fortunately for Golden State, their next two matchups are against San Antonio, a team currently holding a record of 13-50.
Steph Curry and Victor Wembanyama have both been declared unavailable for Saturday’s game between the Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs at Chase Center.
Curry will be absent from his fourth game of the season due to a right ankle sprain sustained late in the Warriors’ recent loss to the Chicago Bulls on Thursday.
Following an MRI on Friday, there’s reportedly positive news regarding the injury, according to a league source speaking to NBC Sports Bay Area’s Monte Poole. The anticipated timeline for Curry’s return is approximately 7 to 10 days, with a clearer picture expected to emerge on Saturday regarding the extent of his absence.
Curry has been maintaining an average of 26.9 points per game, shooting at 44.9% from the field and 40.7% from beyond the arc. Notably, he leads the NBA this season with 290 made 3-pointers.
