The Golden State Warriors’ long list of injuries grew after tipoff against the Los Angeles Clippers. In the first minute of the game, Juan Toscano Anderson sprained his ankle and did not return.
The Oakland native has played 13 games with Golden State after being signed from the Warriors G League affiliate following the NBA trade deadline.
With injuries hampering Golden State’s roster, Toscano-Anderson has blossomed into a significant contributor for the Warriors. The Marquette product is averaging 5.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 21.3 minutes per contest.
Following the Warriors’ 131-107, Steve Kerr said the Warriors would have an update on Toscano-Anderson’s sprained ankle tomorrow.
Toscano-Anderson joined Stephen Curry (flu), Draymond Green (knee soreness) and Kevon Looney (hip soreness) on the Warriors injury report.
Without Toscano-Anderson, a mix of Dragan Bender and Eric Paschall filled his role against the Clippers. Bender tied his career-high with 23 points on 8-of-12 shooting from the field. The Croatian big-man added seven rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes.
Despite their injury woes, the depleted Warriors will only have one day off before welcoming the Brooklyn Nets to Chase Center in San Francisco on Thursday night.
