Full Injury Report: Golden State Warriors vs. Washington Wizards

In this story:
The Golden State Warriors will be without Steph Curry until after the All-Star break, and they will also be without newly acquired guard Gary Payton II for at least a month. Payton was reacquired from the Portland Trail Blazers after helping the Warriors win a championship last season, and Golden State hopes he can return before the playoffs.
On the front end of a back-to-back on Monday night, the Warriors are taking on the Washington Wizards in Golden State. The team will face the LA Clippers on Tuesday night in Los Angeles, so it will be interesting to see how they approach this back-to-back situation.
The Warriors have not been playing Klay Thompson on both ends of back-to-back sets this season, so if this plan continues, he will be out vs. the Clippers on Tuesday. Thompson has been made available for Monday night's game vs. the Wizards, as has Andrew Wiggins. There is a chance the Warriors end up even more shorthanded for their next game vs. the Clippers than they are for this game vs. Washington.
In addition to the expected absences of Steph Curry and Gary Payton II, the Warriors will also be without Andre Iguodala and Ryan Rollins. The Wizards are mostly healthy, as the only players listed out for them so far are Will Barton (who was recently working towards a buy-out), and Isaiah Todd who is on a G-League assignment. Kyle Kuzma is questionable to play with a left ankle sprain.
