The Scoop: With LeBron James (foot) back in the lineup following a one-game absence, Timme will retreat to the second unit. The big man isn't guaranteed meaningful playing time Thursday, and he has averaged 1.8 points across 7.4 minutes per game over his last five appearances off the bench.

 The Scoop: Leons drew a spot start Tuesday against the Kings, and while Kristaps Porzingis (knee) and Gui Santos (pelvis) are out again Thursday, it'll be Nate Williams who gets a chance with the first unit. Leons figures to remain involved in the rotation with Golden State operating shorthanded in the frontcourt.

 The Scoop: Williams will get the starting nod for just the second time this season, pushing Malevy Leons to the bench. During his lone start of the season in a loss to the Spurs on April 1, Williams recorded 18 points, four rebounds, two steals and one assist in 47 minutes.

 The Scoop: Yabusele sustained the shoulder injury early in the third quarter and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest shortly after exiting to the locker room. The big man faces a short turnaround if he hopes to suit up in Friday's game against Orlando.

 The Scoop: Horford has already been ruled out for the first game of Golden State's back-to-back Thursday against the Lakers, but the team is optimistic about a Friday return. The veteran will presumably be re-evaluated Friday morning before another update is issued.

 The Scoop: Yabusele appeared to bump into another player and grabbed his left shoulder before heading to the locker room. He should be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

 The Scoop: Highsmith is slated for a 12th straight absence while dealing with a right knee injury. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive in the regular-season finale Sunday against Oklahoma City, though it's unclear at this time whether he's nearing a return.

 The Scoop: Goodwin exited Wednesday's win over the Mavericks early and will now miss Friday's contest due to a sprained left ankle. His next chance to play will come in Sunday's regular-season finale in Oklahoma City. With Goodwin out, Grayson Allen, Ryan Dunn and Collin Gillespie are candidates for increased playing time.

 The Scoop: Cryer will make his return to the hardwood Thursday after missing Golden State's previous two matchups due to an illness. He figures to get some run off the bench with Stephen Curry (knee) sidelined.

 The Scoop: Grant will miss a sixth consecutive contest due to a right calf strain and is without a clear timetable for a return to action. The veteran forward's next chance to play will come in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Kings.
