The Golden State Warriors have been dealing with a slew of injuries all season, but this recent stretch has been the worst it's been in years. The Warriors had nine players on the injury report coming into tonight's game against the San Antonio Spurs, but it looks like that number will be dropped to, at most, eight.
At the team's morning shootaround, head coach Steve Kerr said that back up point guard Patrick McCaw will return tonight from a month-long absence with a fractured wrist.
Patrick McCaw will return tonight vs. SA. Kerr expects him to play 15-20 minutes.

McCaw has been out since February 12th when the Warriors took on the Phoenix Suns. He left that game with a sprained wrist, but further examination revealed a fracture in his wrist. He will now return following a 13-game absence, and the Warriors will certainly need him as Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Omri Casspi, Quinn Cook, Andre Iguodala, Kevon Looney, and Zaza Pachulia are all dealing with some kind of injury, although Curry, Thompson, Durant, and Casspi are the only ones not listed as probable for Monday's game.
McCaw will likely play 15-20 minutes in his first game back. On the season, he's averaging 3.7 points, 1.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.7 steals per game on 44.3 percent shooting in just over 15 minutes of action.
