Warriors vs. 76ers: Injury-Riddled Showdown at Chase Center Before NBA Trade Deadline
The Golden State Warriors are set to face off against the Philadelphia 76ers in their last game before the 2026 NBA trade deadline. Both teams are dealing with significant injuries, leading to a matchup of role players and backups at the Chase Center. The injury report for the game includes key players from both teams.
Steph Curry is sidelined with right patellofemoral pain syndrome, commonly known as "runner's knee," and is listed as day-to-day. Jimmy Butler III is out with a right ACL tear, facing a lengthy recovery period. Jonathan Kuminga is also unavailable due to a left knee bone bruise, possibly marking his final game with the Warriors. Seth Curry is dealing with left sciatic nerve irritation and has only played in two games this season. LJ Cryer is managing a left hamstring injury, missing out on a chance to play in a game with multiple absences.
On the positive side, Moses Moody is probable to play despite left knee soreness. However, the Sixers will be without Joel Embiid, who is managing right ankle and knee injuries. Embiid has been having a strong season, playing more games than last year and showing glimpses of his MVP form. Paul George is serving a league suspension, adding to the Sixers' challenges for the game.
Despite the injuries and absences, the game promises to be an interesting matchup for both teams. Warriors fans can catch the action at 7:00 p.m. PT on NBC Sports Bay Area.
