Kevin Knox II - Getting another 10-day deal with GS The Warriors intend to sign Knox to a second 10-day contract, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Impact Knox has played in four games for the Warriors since signing his first 10-day contract Feb. 19. His best outing came in Wednesday's 128-92 blowout win over the Hornets, when he finished with 12 points, five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 15 minutes. Knox hasn't played more than seven minutes across his other three outings, but he could have a meaningful spot in the rotation in the short term as Jimmy Butler is currently working through back spasms.

Jalen Suggs - Out indefinitely Suggs will be out indefinitely with a trochlea injury in his left knee, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Impact Suggs underwent further evaluation, including an MRI, to determine the extent of the injury, and the guard won't be available until further notice following the exams. Suggs has missed the last 14 games due to what had been previously described as a quadriceps contusion, but he's been limited to just three appearances since the beginning of January. With Suggs out, Cole Anthony should remain in the starting point guard role, while Gary Harris and Anthony Black should also see extra minutes.

Jonathan Kuminga - Could return Monday vs. Charlotte Kuminga (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Philadelphia, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kuminga has not played since Jan. 4 against the Grizzlies due to a right ankle sprain, but Slater relays that the fourth-year forward is close to return and could see the floor as early as Monday against the Hornets. Kuminga was averaging a career-best 16.8 points per game while shooting 34.5 percent from three-point range before going down with an ankle injury.

Jimmy Butler III - Working through back spasms Butler is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the 76ers due to back spasms, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
Impact Butler has has struggled over his last two outings, accumulating just 11 points on 4-for-15 shooting. Part of that shooting slump could be attributed to back spasms, which has put him in jeopardy of missing his first game as a member of the Warriors. Butler's absence would lead to more playing time for Gary Payton, Moses Moody and Buddy Hield.
