The Golden State Warriors entered the 2022-23 NBA season full of confidence after an enthralling 2022 NBA title win. However, injuries to Stephen Curry and other important players derailed their regular season. The Dubs are facing the Sacramento Kings in the first round of the playoffs and all seemed well as crucial players returned back from injury.

Jordan Poole took the internet and the NBA world by storm with his electrifying play last season. However, this season has been quite different for the 23-year-old. Poole, who was punched by Draymond Green prior to the season, has struggled with injuries during the regular season. The youngster seemed to be in pain following his team’s game 1 loss against the Sacramento Kings.

Although he was labeled questionable for game 2, he still played and this might have played a part in deteriorating the situation. Klay Thompson talked about Poole and asserted that he is “playing with half a foot right now” according to Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports.

Following this worrying update, Poole’s foot situation has worsened according to sources on the internet. “Poole’s ankle looked “really swollen” after last nights game”, according to the Warriors plus minus podcast.
