Game 2 injury report: Jordan Poole questionable
Well that’s not ideal.
The Golden State Warriors are getting ready for Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference Playoffs against the Sacramento Kings. Game 1 was an exciting and thrilling contest, but ultimately a loss, which makes Game 2 a pretty important game.
It’s a mostly clean injury report for both teams, but there’s a pretty important name listed for the Dubs. Let’s dive into it.
Warriors
Out — Andre Iguodala (left wrist surgery)
There remains a chance that we see Iguodala again if the Warriors advance from this series. He’s set to be reevaluated sometime later this month, and maybe, just maybe, he’ll make a surprise appearance.
Out — Ryan Rollins (right foot surgery)
Golden State’s second-round pick in 2022, however, will not be making a surprise appearance this postseason. He’s out for the year, and was also out of the rotation, so...
Questionable — Jordan Poole (left ankle sprain)
Poole rolled his ankle while driving to the hoop during the Game 1 loss on Saturday. He stayed in the game, but now he’s questionable after it had time to swell up. Poole was getting shots up at shootaround, and if I were a betting man, I’d say he plays.

Kings
Out — Matthew Dellavedova (right index finger surgery)
Sadly the Dubs will not get a little taste of the 2015 and 2016 NBA Finals, when they faced Dellavedova when he was a young player on the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Enjoy the action, Dub Nation. Go Warriors!
