Warriors-Knicks Clash: Will Towns, Green Play Tonight?
The Warriors injury report lists 9 players out or questionable before the Knicks clash. Draymond Green ruled out while Karl-Anthony Towns returns for New York.
New York enters Sunday's matchup with a 43-25 record, having defeated the Indiana Pacers on their home court on Friday night.
In Friday's victory over the Pacers, Jalen Brunson delivered a stellar performance for the Knicks; he recorded 29 points, five rebounds, and nine assists, while OG Anunoby contributed 25 points, eight rebounds, and five assists.
Now, New York will look to secure another win on their home court this Sunday when they face a struggling Warriors squad.
On the other hand, Golden State heads into Sunday's contest with a 32-34 record, having suffered a loss at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves on their home court on Friday night; with this defeat, their losing streak has now reached four consecutive games.
In Friday's loss, Brandin Podziemski was the top performer for the Warriors; he finished the game with 25 points and 10 rebounds, while Kristaps Porzingis recorded 20 points and four rebounds.
Although both teams are hoping to secure a victory in Sunday night's matchup, several key players from both squads could be sidelined due to injuries.
Warriors Injury Report: Will Draymond Green and Kristaps Porzingis Play?
The Warriors' injury report lists nine players, including both Draymond Green and Porzingis.
Golden State has ruled Green out of the game under their injury management protocols due to a lower back issue; this marks the second consecutive game he will miss.
The Warriors have also ruled Porzingis out of the contest due to illness management; this will be the first game he has missed since March 9. Al Horford has also been ruled out due to a strain in his right calf (soleus), while D'Anthony Melton is out as he manages a left knee injury.
Moses Moody remains sidelined as he recovers from a sprained right wrist, while Seth Curry is out due to a strain in his left thigh (adductor).
Stephen Curry is still out as he recovers from a lingering right knee injury, while Jimmy Butler will remain sidelined for the remainder of the season.
Quinton Post has been listed as 'questionable' due to a sprained left ankle; if he is also ruled out, Golden State's frontcourt will face a severe shortage of players, as Green, Porzingis, and Horford are already sidelined.

Knicks Injury Report: Will Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart Play? On the other hand, the Knicks' injury report lists three players, though Karl-Anthony Towns is not among them.
Of course, Towns was unable to play in Friday's victory due to soreness in both knees; however, his name has now been removed from the injury report, and he is set to make his return in the matchup against the Warriors.
New York has listed Josh Hart as 'questionable' due to left knee soreness, and there is a strong possibility that he will miss his third consecutive game.
If Hart remains sidelined once again, Landry Shamet and Jordan Clarkson could have the opportunity to take on larger roles within the team.
The Knicks have also listed Jeremy Sochan as 'questionable' due to illness, while Miles McBride remains out as he recovers from core muscle surgery. Fans can watch this match between the Warriors and the Knicks on Sunday night at 8:00 PM (ET) from Madison Square Garden on NBC and Peacock.
