Warriors' Kevon Looney: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Looney (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers.
Looney will be in street clothes for the first time this season -- his only other absence was a healthy DNP. In the veteran's absence, Trayce Jackson-Davis may play more minutes, but Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga and Kyle Anderson are also candidates for increased roles because the Warriors lack a true center behind Jackson-Davis and Looney.

Warriors' Lindy Waters: Avoids serious injury
Rotowire
Waters (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Waters took a scary fall during Friday's win over Memphis but has avoided a long-term injury. The undrafted wing got the first crack in the starting lineup following De'Anthony Melton (knee) going on the shelf, but the Warriors have a deep rotation this year and may continue to switch things up based on matchups.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Recalled to NBA
Rotowire
The Warriors recalled Santos from the Santa Cruz Warriors of the G League on Saturday.
Santos will likely continue to bounce back and forth between the NBA and the G League. In five appearances for Golden State this season, Santos is averaging 1.2 points and 1.0 rebounds in 4.0 minutes.
Warriors' Buddy Hield: Leading scorer off bench in win
Rotowire
Hield produced 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes off the bench during Friday's 123-118 win over Memphis.
The veteran wing led his team in scoring on a night when six different Warriors produced double-digit points. The 30 minutes represented Hield's biggest workload since Nov. 2, but he's seen as few as 19 minutes in a game this month as his role remains inconsistent. Through 12 contests to begin his Golden State tenure, Hield is averaging 17.7 points, 4.0 boards, 3.8 threes, 1.9 assists and 0.8 steals in 25.0 minutes a game, on what would be career-best shooting of 49.4 percent from the floor and 46.9 percent from long distance.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Busy on defense in win
Rotowire
Curry provided 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and four steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 123-118 victory over the Grizzlies.
After scoring a combined 73 points over the prior two games, Curry's offense went a little cold Friday, but he made up for it by tying his season high in steals. The Warriors have been keeping an eye on the two-time MVP's workload, and Curry has failed to see more than 26 minutes in three of six games since returning from an ankle injury in early November. Despite the inconsistent court time, he's still averaging 24.8 points, 6.3 assists, 5.0 boards, 4.0 threes and 2.0 steals over that stretch while shooting 50.5 percent from the floor, 92.0 percent from the charity stripe and 44.4 percent from beyond the arc.
Green was ejected from Friday's game against the Grizzlies after being assessed two techincal fouls, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Green received the technical fouls from the bench while arguing with officials, and head coach Steve Kerr was also assessed a technical foul, though this all occurred late in the fourth quarter. Green will finish his night with 13 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes.
Waters will not return to Friday's game against the Grizzlies due to a left knee hyperextension, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Waters went to the locker room in the second quarter after suffering a left knee injury, and he will not return to Friday's contest. Brandin Podziemski started in the second half and Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield should see increased playing time off the bench.
