The Golden State Warriors got more than they bargained for in their showdown with the struggling Los Angeles Lakers. Despite the return of superstars Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry, the Warriors found themselves grinding out the tough victory after forcing overtime.
Both Durant and Curry were questionable leading up to their visit to Staples Center. According to Warriors PR, they have now been listed as questionable once again for their matchup with the Orlando Magic on Friday:
Stephen Curry (right hand contusion), Kevin Durant (sprained left ankle), Andre Iguodala (sore left knee), Klay Thompson (sprained left ankle) & David West (left lateral knee soreness) are questionable for tomorrow night's game at Orlando.

Durant was used heavily following his three-game hiatus with injury, as he logged in more minutes than any other Warriors player (42). Furthermore, Golden State largely relied on him down the final stretch of regulation to help force overtime.
He then handed the reigns over to Curry in the extra period, who also logged in a heavy dosage of 39 minutes in his first game back as well. Fortunately, both players looked healthy enough as they led the Warriors back into the win column following a heartbreaking loss to the lowly Sacramento Kings.
That said, Golden State has quite the extensive injury report as they head into the first of their five-game Eastern Conference road trip. Should either of these superstars need to sit out Friday's game, it will be interesting to see who steps up in their place this time versus the struggling Magic.
