Golden State Warriors vs Chicago Bulls injury reports for January 12 | 2023-24 NBA season 

The Golden State Warriors commence a two-game road trip to the East Coast with a game against the Chicago Bulls on Friday night. The Warriors woeful run continued with a massive 141-105 loss in their last game against the New Orleans Pelicans at home.

The Warriors are now three games below .500 (17-20). Meanwhile, the Bulls are also three games below .500, but they are trending in the right direction with three consecutive wins entering Friday's game.

In their previous outing, the Bulls beat the Houston Rockets 124-119 in overtime. Several factors have contributed to the underwhelming seasons both teams have endured.

The Warriors are struggling to find a rhythm with starters Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins out of form and defensive anchor Draymond Green's multiple suspensions.

Meanwhile, the Bulls also face issues with their on-court play because of their lack of cohesiveness on either end. The constant trade chatter around their star players isn't helping the team's case.

Injuries have also contributed to the multi-time NBA champions' struggles. Friday could see both teams depleted again.
