On a busy day filled with transactions that included a flurry of second round picks on the move on trade deadline day, the Golden State Warriors made a pair of deals, that included James Wiseman’s departure and Gary Payton II’s return to the Bay Area.
Along with making two trades, the Warriors provided a new update for Steph Curry’s injury status.

Following his injury, the Warriors announced Curry had suffered partial tears to ligaments in his lower left leg along with a lower leg contusion. However, no timeline for his injury status was established.
On Thursday, the Warriors provided a new update for Curry. The two-time Most Valuable Player will be re-evaluated after the upcoming All-Star break. With his re-evaluation set for after the break, the Warriors will be without Curry for at least the next three games. Before the All-Star break, the Warriors are slated to meet the Los Angeles Lakers, Washington Wizards and Los Angeles Clippers.
