Golden State upgraded Charles Bassey from out to day-to-day with a knee and leg issue on Saturday morning. The Warriors play at Phoenix tonight at 10 p.m. ET, and the report lists Oct. 24 as his expected return.
What happened
The Warriors moved Charles Bassey from out to day-to-day on the injury report posted at 9:56 a.m. ET Saturday. The listed issue is a knee and leg problem. The report's comment still reads that Bassey (knee) is out for Friday's game versus the Grizzlies, so it covers the night before. His status has changed back and forth. He was day-to-day on Oct. 19, out on Oct. 21, day-to-day on Oct. 22 and out again on Oct. 23. The report gives an expected return date of Oct. 24.
What it means for the Warriors
Golden State is at Phoenix tonight at 10 p.m. ET on NBA TV. The Warriors are 0-2, 14th in the standings, and have lost two straight. They are 0-0 with Bassey this season and 0-2 without him. The 25-year-old forward-center gave them 11.7 minutes, 5.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 13 games last season. In the two games without him, Yaxel Lendeborg (33.1 minutes), Brandin Podziemski (32.9) and Draymond Green (26.1) carried the heaviest loads. Al Horford played 18.3 minutes and Georges Niang 16.6. Podziemski is listed out with a back issue on the current report.
What to watch
Watch for the next injury report and the final game-day status before the 10 p.m. ET tip in Phoenix. The report lists Oct. 24 as his expected return, but the Warriors have not announced whether he will play tonight. His status has shifted four times in six days, so a late change is possible. Golden State is also without Kristaps Porzingis, Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody, all listed out. Stephen Curry is day-to-day for rest.
