Warriors at Hawks: Money on the Floor, March 21, 2026
While Curry will remain sidelined for Saturday's game against the Hawks and Monday's matchup in Dallas, the impending Tuesday re-evaluation is the most significant milestone in his recovery to date. The superstar guard has already begun intensifying his on-court activity and is expected to be incorporated into live practices over the coming days. If the Tuesday checkup goes well, there is "cautious optimism" that Curry could return to the lineup as early as Wednesday's home game against the Nets. In the meantime, Brandin Podziemski and De'Anthony Melton will continue to handle the bulk of the backcourt minutes for a Warriors team fighting to maintain its spot in the play-in race.
Butler suffered a season-ending ACL injury Jan. 19 against Miami, and he's since gone under the knife so that he can begin the recovery process. It's promising news that the procedure went as expected, though it's still too early to try to predict a timeline for Butler's return. The Warriors stated that an update on his progress will be disclosed early in the 2026-27 campaign.
Porzingis exited Friday's 115-101 loss to Detroit because of a back injury. While he already indicated he likely wouldn't be available Saturday against the Hawks, the latest update confirms what most had already expected. With Al Horford (calf) out, and Draymond Green (back) and Quinten Post (foot) questionable, Gui Santos and Omer Yurtseven may split time in the middle versus Atlanta.
Moody's recovery from a sprained right wrist has been slower than anticipated, but he's begun to ramp up his on-court work recently. With the next step being involved in live action drills, it looks like Moody still has a way to go before being cleared for game action. Still, it's an encouraging sign considering head coach Steve Kerr said earlier in the week that Moody was simply behind schedule. Moody will be evaluated again Tuesday.
Horford is set to miss at least the next five games, and it's important to note that while he'll be re-evaluated in one week, that doesn't mean he will return. Quinten Post figures to be more involved in the rotation while Horford is sidelined.
Payton will be sidelined Saturday for injury management purposes. His absence should leave more opportunities for Pat Spencer and Will Richard. Payton's next chance to play will come Monday at Dallas.
Out
S. Curry
Curry exited Friday's game against the Timberwolves early and will face a prolonged absence due to a left adductor strain. He will miss at least four games before getting re-evaluated. His absence doesn't figure to impact the rotation significantly.
