NBA Injury News

The Golden State Warriors are hoping to get Stephen Curry back in their lineup and end their four-game losing streak. Per our NBA Insiders tool:

Coach Kerr said Curry was a full participant in practice Sunday and will be listed questionable in advance of the contest on Monday. Curry missed the past five games due to a tailbone contusion. … Kerr did not mention if Curry would have any minute limitations. The team wants to see how Curry’s body responds following practice.

Lonzo Ball is listed questionable ahead of Monday’s game against the Boston Celtics. Ball has missed the past four games with a strained hip flexor. In that same matchup, Evan Fournier is questionable as he continues to go through the league’s health and safety protocols following his trade from the Magic.

Bradley Beal is questionable to suit up for the Wizards when they face the Pacers Monday. Beal suffered a hip contusion Saturday and didn’t return to the game.

Julius Randle is questionable ahead of the Knicks’ Monday night matchup with the Miami Heat. Randle sat out on Saturday because of a sore thigh that he injured on Thursday. The Knicks are thin the frontcourt after center Mitchell Robinson fractured his foot Saturday.
