The Golden State Warriors announced that backup center Quinten Post will not return to Sunday’s game against the Denver Nuggets due to a right foot issue. Post left the court after recording two rebounds and one block in five minutes, shooting 0-for-1 before his injury.
ESPN’s Anthony Slater reported that Post appeared to injure his lower right leg, adding that the rookie has been dealing with ankle and foot problems recently. The team confirmed the injury after he limped to the locker room.
Both teams played at Ball Arena in Colorado, with the atmosphere briefly shifting as the Warriors adjusted to the absence of their reserve center. There was no immediate update on a potential timeline for Post’s return.
The injury underscores a recurring theme for Golden State this season, as several players have dealt with injuries, affecting rotations and depth in the frontcourt.
Warriors PR later announced that Post would not return due to right foot soreness, signaling a direct end to his involvement in the game. No additional updates on his condition were provided at that time.
The development leaves Golden State to manage frontcourt minutes with other reserves stepping up, while evaluating the severity and potential impact on upcoming games.
