Post is out for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers due to right foot injury management.

Thursday will mark a second consecutive absence for Post, who left Sunday's loss to Denver early. Kristaps Porzingis and Draymond Green should share the center minutes for the Warriors versus Cleveland.

Santos (pelvis) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.

A right pelvic contusion could cost Santos both legs of this back-to-back set. Gary Payton and LJ Cryer are both candidates for increased playing time if Santos is unable to suit up Thursday.

Curry (knee) is out for Thursday's game against Cleveland.

Curry was previously considered doubtful for this contest. Based on multiple reports, the superstar is targeting a return Sunday against the Rockets if his knee continues to respond well to workouts.

Payton (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.

Payton will be back in action after sitting out the front end of this back-to-back set for maintenance. With so many Warriors injured, Payton could see a sizable workload Thursday.

Melton is questionable for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers due to a left thumb strain.

Melton is at risk of missing both ends of this back-to-back set. Will Richard and Pat Spencer would have a clearer pathway to playing in the backcourt if Melton is ultimately downgraded to out Thursday.

McBride (pelvis) is available for Friday's game against Chicago.

McBride was given a maintenance day Wednesday against Memphis, but he has the green light to reprise his role as the backup point guard behind Jalen Brunson.

Porzingis (illness) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against Cleveland.

The star big man is ready to play after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Spurs. Porzingis is heating up as of late, averaging 22.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 3.0 three-pointers in 28.4 minutes per game over his last four outings.

Robinson (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Bulls.

After missing the second leg of a back-to-back set Wednesday against Memphis, Robinson is all set to reprise his role as the backup center against Chicago.

Brunson (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Bulls.

Brunson is no longer appearing on the injury report after missing Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies. Presumably, Wednesday was more of a maintenance day for the star guard.

Matkovic (back) is out for Thursday's game against Portland.

The 2022 second-rounder is sitting out Thursday due to lower-back spasms, and a short turnaround awaits him Friday in Sacramento versus the Kings. Matkovic's absence could get DeAndre Jordan back into the center rotation, also opening up more playing time for Yves Missi and Derik Queen.
