The Warriors aren’t concerned about Thompson’s early season struggles, especially in light of his impressive comeback last season after recovering from two major injuries that sidelined him for two and a half years.
Injury Reports for Heat – Warriors game
- Warriors
Thompson started the 2022-23 NBA season healthy following his January return to the court, which came after rehabbing a left ACL tear suffered in 2019 and a torn right Achilles in 2020.
Thompson (injury management) is listed as out for the second game of the Warriors’ first back-to-back of the season. Poole was deemed questionable after spraining his right ankle late in overtime. During his pregame warmup, the 23-year-old guard tested his ankle and determined it was fine.
“He only had one exhibition game, so under normal circumstances, this would kind of be the end of exhibition season for him,” coach Steve Kerr said Saturday night. “And so he’s just got to stay with it and he’s going to be fine.”
DiVincenzo (hamstring) is unlikely to play in any of the games on Golden State’s upcoming road trip, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Iguodala (hip) is listed as OUT for Tuesday’s game in Miami.
Meanwhile, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, and Kevon Looney were all ready to go with Poole in the starting lineup.
