SALT LAKE CITY, UT – The Golden State Warriors begin a six-game road trip on Wednesday against a similarly injury-plagued Utah Jazz team. Both teams will be without key players as they face off in Salt Lake City.

The Warriors will be without Jonathan Kuminga (right ankle sprain), who will miss his 16th consecutive game, though he’s reportedly progressing well. Moses Moody (bilateral low back strain) is also out. Draymond Green (left calf strain) and Andrew Wiggins (left hip soreness) are listed as probable. Kevon Looney, despite a nasal bone fracture, is expected to play.

Utah’s injury report is even more extensive. Collin Sexton (left ankle sprain) is out, along with recent acquisitions Jalen Hood-Schifino and P.J. Tucker (both not with the team). The Jazz will also be missing Taylor Hendricks (right fibula fracture) and Cody Williams (left ankle sprain). Lauri Markkanen is questionable with a low back injury.

Despite the absences, the game promises to be a crucial contest for both teams as they navigate the latter half of the season. The Warriors look to maintain momentum following their recent win over Orlando, while the Jazz will be aiming to overcome their injury woes.
