De’Anthony Melton likely, Steph Curry active for Warriors vs. Jazz

After a dominant and exciting loss to the Portland Trail Blazers in their first game of the 2024-2025 NBA season, the Golden State Warriors are back in action and staying on the road. They will take on the Utah Jazz tonight at 6:30 PM PT.

In that first game, there was no one on the Dubs’ injury report. Today there are a lot of names, but luckily it’s not a lot of bad news.

Here is the full injury report.

Warriors

Probably — De’Anthony Melton (right chest contusion)

Melton certainly wants to build on his Warriors debut, which was solid but not particularly impressive. Apparently he suffered a minor bruise during that game, but it looks like he will play through it.

Available — Steph Curry (right hip contusion)
Available — Draymond Green (left knee contusion)
Available — Brandin Podziemski (face mask)

All three will play, and that’s a good thing. The fact that they are on the injury report – even if available – rather than absent indicates that they were on previous versions of the injury report while still not fully cleared to play.

Luckily that has changed, because I want to watch all three!

Jazz

Out — Isaiah Collier (right hamstring injury)

Collier, the 29th overall pick in June’s draft, will have to wait a little longer to make his NBA debut. He has been cleared for full court activity but likely won’t play until November.

Out -Johnny Juzang (right thumb)

Juzang is entering his third season, all with the Jazz, though he has only played in 38 career games. He is listed as an everyday player, but will have to wait until after this match before making his season debut.

Enjoy the action, Dub Nation!
