Alex Toohey remains day-to-day with a knee injury on the Warriors' Sunday injury report, the same status he has carried since Sept. 28. Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports that Toohey signed an Exhibit 10 contract with Golden State on Wednesday, leaving his availability for Tuesday's opener against the Lakers unclear.
What happened
The Warriors listed Alex Toohey as day-to-day with a knee injury on their Sunday, Oct. 4 report, filed at 9:59 PM ET. That matches his previous status: he first appeared as day-to-day with a left knee and leg issue on Monday, Sept. 28. No new detail on the injury itself was given in Sunday's report. Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports that Toohey signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Warriors on Wednesday. An expected return has not been announced.
What it means for the Warriors
Golden State opens its season Tuesday at home against the Lakers at 10:00 PM ET on NBA TV. The Warriors have not played a regular-season game yet, so there is no record with or without Toohey and no season line for him. Two other forwards on the injury report, Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody, are also out with knee issues, Butler's on the right knee and Moody's on the left. Without those three, minutes have gone to Jonathan Kuminga (23.8 minutes, 12.1 points), Draymond Green (27.5 minutes, 8.4 points) and Kristaps Porzingis (23.7 minutes, 16.1 points), while Stephen Curry (30.9 minutes, 26.6 points) and Brandin Podziemski (28.5 minutes, 13.8 points) carry the backcourt load.
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether Toohey's day-to-day status changes before the Lakers game. No timetable for a return has been announced, and Sunday's report gave no new detail on the knee issue beyond what has been listed since Sept. 28. Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody remain out with their own knee issues, so Golden State's next reports on both are also worth tracking as the season opener approaches.
Is Alex Toohey playing vs Lakers?
He is day-to-day with a knee issue heading into Tuesday's game, Oct. 6 at 10:00 PM ET on NBA TV. The Warriors have not ruled him out, but no update beyond day-to-day has been announced.
When will Alex Toohey be back?
An expected return has not been announced.
