The Golden State Warriors are back in action on Sunday in a road game against the Denver Nuggets. They are looking to keep their hot streak alive after winning three straight games.

Golden State has been on a heater despite its current injury crisis. Steph Curry is still out of action as he continues to nurse a lingering knee injury. Moses Moody recently joined Jimmy Butler on the injury list after the former underwent surgery to address a torn patellar tendon in his left knee.

Al Horford remains out with a right soleus strain and missed his ninth straight game for the Warriors on Sunday. Guard Will Richard was forced to sit out against the Nuggets as well with a heel injury.

The good news for the Warriors is that they officially clinched a play-in spot even before Sunday’s game. The Houston Rockets defeated the New Orleans Pelicans earlier in the day, thereby locking the Warriors’ spot in the play-in tournament.

Unfortunately for Golden State, they lost another player during the Nuggets game. The team revealed more bad news after center Quinten Post exited the contest in the second half due to a foot injury.

The Warriors announced that Post will miss the remainder of the game due to right foot soreness.

Post is no star, but the second-year power forward has been a key rotation piece for head coach Steve Kerr. Entering Sunday’s contest, the 25-year-old had averaged 7.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 triples in 17.5 minutes per contest.

The Warriors have not provided the full details of Post’s injury, but the fact that he was quickly ruled out for the rest of the game is not a good sign. For now, his status for Golden State’s next game can be considered in question.

The Warriors return to action on Wednesday with a home matchup against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs.
