The Golden State Warriors have delivered a significant blow to their lineup ahead of Wednesday evening’s high-stakes clash against the Boston Celtics at TD Garden, with emerging big man Quinten Post listed as questionable due to a right foot injury — potentially sidelining him for a second consecutive game.
The Warriors’ latest injury report confirms Post’s status remains uncertain following his absence from Monday’s 125-117 victory over the Washington Wizards. FantasyProsNBA highlighted the development: “Quinten Post (foot) listed questionable Wednesday,” underscoring the concern around the 25-year-old’s availability for what promises to be a tough road test against the Eastern Conference powerhouse.
Post, the 52nd overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft out of Boston College, has carved out a meaningful role in his second professional season with Golden State. In 64 appearances this term, he is averaging 7.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game, while converting 43.9% from the field and 33.3% from beyond the arc. His career marks across 106 games stand at 7.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.4 assists on 44.3% shooting from the floor and 36.3% from three — numbers that reflect his reputation as a reliable stretch big with high-level shooting touch.
Just days ago, Post delivered one of his strongest outings of the season against the New York Knicks on March 15, erupting for 22 points (9-of-16 shooting), three rebounds, three assists, and three blocks in 35 minutes — including a sharp 4-of-10 performance from deep. The foot issue has since disrupted that momentum, forcing him to miss the Wizards win and leaving his status hanging in the balance for Boston.
The Warriors enter the matchup as the No. 9 seed in the Western Conference with a 33-35 record through 68 games. Recent form has been inconsistent: they’ve won just three of their last 10 contests and hold a sub-.500 14-20 mark on the road. The Celtics game represents a critical opportunity to gain ground in the play-in picture, but the injury news adds another layer of challenge to an already depleted roster.
While Post’s potential absence is the headline concern tied to the “key starter” designation in pre-game announcements, the broader injury picture remains troubling for Golden State. Veterans and rotation pieces face ongoing issues, further thinning the depth chart as Steve Kerr’s group prepares for Boston before heading to Detroit on Friday to face Cade Cunningham and the Pistons.
Post’s shooting prowess and interior presence have been valuable assets in a season where the Warriors have leaned on versatility up front. Should he be ruled out, the team will need to adjust quickly against a Celtics side boasting one of the league’s most formidable defenses and frontcourts.
With tip-off looming, all eyes will be on Warriors’ shootaround and final updates — but the bombshell listing has already shifted expectations for what could be a pivotal Eastern Conference road swing.
