NBA Injury News
6 p.m. ET Update: James Wiseman, Stephen Curry and Kevon Looney are all available to play Tuesday. Kyle Lowry will sit out his fourth game in a row with a sprained thumb.
2 p.m. ET Update: Kristaps Porzingis will miss his second straight game due to back tightness and Maxi Kleber has been been ruled out with an ankle injury.
The Golden State Warriors hope to get Stephen Curry back in the lineup after he missed their last game with an illness. Curry has been listed as questionable, though head coach Steve Kerr said he expects the two-time MVP to return for their game at Madison Square Garden.
The Warriors could potentially get some much needed size back in their lineup with James Wiseman and Kevon Looney listed as questionable. Looney has been sidelined the past 10 games with a sprained ankle and Wiseman has been out for 11 games with a wrist injury.
Kyle Lowry remains questionable for the Toronto Raptors as they play the Philadelphia 76ers for the second time in three days. Lowry missed the Raptors' game on Sunday and has been nursing ankle and thumb injuries over the past week.
Kristaps Porzingis is also questionable after sitting out Monday night with back tightness. The Dallas Mavericks play the second night of a back-to-back against the Celtics at home Tuesday with a chance to get back to .500 for the first time since January.
