Golden State Warriors Face Another Injury Blow: Quinten Post Exits Game Against Nuggets

The Golden State Warriors encountered a setback on Sunday night during their game against the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena in Colorado. Backup center Quinten Post left the game with an apparent right foot injury, adding to the team’s growing injury concerns.

During his limited playing time of five minutes, Post managed two rebounds and one block, shooting 0/1 from the field before being forced to leave the contest. ESPN’s Anthony Slater reported, “Another injury for the Warriors. Backup center Quinten Post limping to the locker room after going down with a lower right leg issue. He’s had ankle and foot trouble recently.”

The Warriors have since announced that Post will not return for the remainder of the game. Warriors PR stated, “Quinten Post (right foot soreness) will not return to tonight’s game at Denver.”

Post’s Impact and Recent Performance

Prior to the injury, Post had been a valuable role player for the Warriors, averaging 7.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game. He boasted a field goal percentage of 44.1% and a three-point percentage of 33.6% across 66 games played this season. His absence will undoubtedly be felt by the team.

Social Media Reacts

Social media quickly lit up with reactions to Post’s injury:

• Dalton Johnson: “Oh no, Quinten Post can barely walk”
• Kenzo Fukuda: “Not good for Quinten Post. Might have rolled his ankle. Been dealing with a sprained left ankle. Warriors dealt another injury.”
• @NateOnDubs: “Quinten Post gingerly walks back to the bench after suffering an apparent foot injury. Really struggles to walk. He just came back after missing three straight game due to an injury on that same foot.”
• @Sheridanblog: “Damn it, Quinten Post hurt his ankle again right after playing great defense on Jokic. Really wish he didn’t try to force the action in transition, but he was too fired up about the blocked shot he had. Smh, looks like he’ll probably miss at least a week after that re-tweak.”

Warriors’ Current Standing

Currently, the Warriors hold a record of 36-38, placing them as the tenth seed in the Western Conference. Following their game against the Nuggets, they will return home to face the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. The team will need to navigate this latest injury challenge as they push for a playoff spot. You can find more NBA coverage at NBA.com.
