To start a four-game Texas road trip, the Golden State Warriors have been dealing with a trio of injuries. With James Wiseman missing time due to a sprained wrist and Kevon Looney sidelined with a sprained ankle, Eric Paschall has been added to the injury report with knee soreness.
Paschall has missed the previous two contests against the Dallas Mavericks, limiting the Golden State rotation to only nine players. With the Warriors slated to face the San Antonio Spurs on Monday, Paschall remains questionable for the contest.
According to Steve Kerr, the second-year forward participated in shootaround, but will need to get through pregame warmups to be available against the Spurs.

Eric Paschall is still questionable for tonight. He participated in shootaround. If he gets through pregame with no issues, he'll play tonight.

Kerr is hopeful that Eric Paschall (knee) will be able to play tonight vs. Spurs. Warriors just want to see how Paschall is feeling after he warms up tonight to make sure.

With Looney and Wiseman sidelined, the Warriors could use Paschall’s presence in the frontcourt. The Villanova product is averaging 10 points on 48.1% shooting from the field with 2.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists per contest.
If Paschall has to miss his third consecutive game, Juan Toscano-Anderson and Draymond Green will likely continue to see a bulk of the minutes in the frontcourt.
The Warriors are slated to tip-off against the Spurs on Monday at 5:30 p.m. PST.
