Golden State Warriors Injury Report (Jan. 2): Latest update on Chris Paul and Klay Thompson's availability

The Golden State Warriors are looking to snap a three-game losing streak and win their first in their ongoing seven-game homestand. The Warriors are coming off a 132-122 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. Let's look at the Golden State Warriors injury report.

Golden State only has one player on the injury report, and he's not even injured. Draymond Green is listed as out as he continues to serve his indefinite suspension from hitting Jusuf Nurkic of the Phoenix Suns in the face last month.

That means players like Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Chris Paul are all available against the Orlando Magic. The Warriors have not been plagued by injuries this season, but their struggles have been due to poor lineups, failed rotations and poor player performances.

Steph Curry remains one of the best players in the NBA, but the same cannot be said for the rest of the Golden State Warriors. Curry has been playing at an MVP level even though he's less than three months away from his 36th birthday.

Klay Thompson has been having the worst season of his career since his rookie campaign. Thompson's struggles are well documented, and the hot streak he was on during the Warriors' winning streak is over.

Chris Paul has been fabulous off the bench, but coach Steve Kerr can't seem to get the best out of his depth. Andrew Wiggins looks uninterested in playing, while Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, Brandin Podziemski and Trayce Jackson-Davis are getting inconsistent minutes despite good performances.
