Alex Toohey was cleared off Golden State's injury report Sunday night, moving off the day-to-day tag he had carried since late September. He is now available for Tuesday's season opener against the Lakers.
What happened
Alex Toohey was cleared off the Golden State injury report Sunday at 10:14 PM ET, moving off a day-to-day designation he had carried since Sept. 28, when he was first listed day-to-day with a left knee issue. He remained day-to-day through the week, including an update earlier Sunday that kept the same tag, before the Warriors lifted the listing entirely. No new detail or comment was attached to the clearance, and no expected return date was given beyond the fact that he is no longer listed.
What it means for the Warriors
Golden State opens its 2026-27 season Tuesday night against the Lakers, tipping at 10:00 PM ET on NBA TV. Toohey has no season line yet since the year has not started, and the Warriors have no record with or without him to cite. In recent minutes without him on the floor, Jimmy Butler III logged 31.1 minutes and 20.0 points, Stephen Curry 30.9 minutes and 26.6 points, Brandin Podziemski 28.5 minutes and 13.8 points, Draymond Green 27.5 minutes and 8.4 points, Moses Moody 25.7 minutes and 12.1 points, Jonathan Kuminga 23.8 minutes and 12.1 points, Kristaps Porzingis 23.7 minutes and 16.1 points, and De'Anthony Melton 23.0 minutes and 12.3 points. Butler and Moody are both out on the injury report.
What to watch
No next injury report date is specified, and no expected return timeline was announced since Toohey is already cleared. The only game currently on the schedule is Tuesday's opener against the Lakers at 10:00 PM ET on NBA TV. Golden State will also be watching the status of Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody, both out on the same report with knee issues, as the season begins.
