Suns, Warriors Injury-Riddled Clash

0:00It's April 17. This is California News Today, powered by AI. Phoenix Suns gear up for a do-or-die play-and-clash with the Golden State Warriors tomorrow night, and both squads are banged up heading in. Starting center Mark Williams is questionable with left foot soreness after logging limited second half minutes in their lost to Portland. Grayson Allen is also questionable with that nagging left hamstring string, sidelined the last two games. Meanwhile, the Warriors punched their ticket by beating the Clippers last night, but Kristaz Prasinguis is questionable now, with right ankle soreness. After dropping 20 points on them, they're still missing Jimmy Butler post ACL surgery, Moses Moody with Patelar tendon work, and Quinton Post managing a right foot issue. Suns coach Jordan Nott says Allen's progressing but hamstrings are tricky, it's all about if he can spread by game time. Phoenix went three in one against Golden State this season, but the Warriors look different without Butler and with Porzinga stepping up.
