According to ESPN, Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Andrew Wiggins all will not play tonight against the Pelicans, along with Iguadola and DiVincenzo, who are still out. I would say it's a safe bet that Rollins will play and that the Warriors will lose.
Rollins had a lot of stats in his nine minutes on the court. 2-4 from the field (including 1-2 from beyond the arc), 2-2 from the free throw line, two fouls, and four turnovers. I didn't watch the game, but I'm trying to figure out how you commit four turnovers, take four shots, plus get to the free-throw line. Every time he touched the ball must have resulted in a shot attempt, a foul drawn, or a turnover.
watched some of the game-at least the rollins parts. warriors were playing with young mostly unheralded guys and 1 starter- looney, and their 6th man, poole. rollins got 2 runs around the end of quarter 1 and 3. drilled a long open straight on 3 on his first shot and made his first NBA bucket. rimmed out another. had a bad pass and a couple fouls. in the 2nd half he looked good on the court. but did shuffle his feet starting a drive when he had his defender on their heels, one of about 48 million travelling calls on the warriors, the most I've ever seen in an NBA game. came back and cut open for a pretty short floater. got his pocket picked on the inbounds pass by the human steal jose alvarado and the expected announcer "welcome to the league". had another play where he cut open in the lane made a pretty spin move and had a sweet reverse layup hang on the rim and fall off. if it had fallen it would have been a minor highlight reel move. toward the end of the quarter made a smart play with about 32 seconds left to drive and draw a foul and get free throws and set the team up for a 2 for 1. after the game the warriors post game focused on the young guys and mostly talked about players who had big minutes but did bring up rollins and show some highlights and mention that he looked pretty good and the team really likes him.

It is great to see Ryan get some playing time. It is hard to stay at a high level on the bench. He needs to get significant playing time at the next level. That will come. Nice job, Ryan. Thanks for posting.
Glad to see rollins getting much needed reps with the g league team, that probably was the most minutes he’s played since his college days. That’s what the g league is mainly for reps and conditioning. Saturday is a big time match up as rollins takes on potential #2 pick in the 2023 draft scoot Henderson should be a fun game.
good for him to get on the floor and grow. a couple observations. his speed and quickness really translates to the higher level of play. guys have a hard time staying in front of him. he'll need to improve his playmaking for others as he's playing pg and mostly just looking to score. lots of potential on the defensive end. in this last g league game he really took over down the stretch and made key shots.
Rollins toggles back up to the bigs for Warriors' back to backs as part of a 3 games in the 3 days in 3 cities run. Goes for 24 on good shooting w 4 assists, 5 turnovers, 2 blocks in G league game. On the Warriors bench but w a DNP Sunday. Gets 8 minutes of garbage time Monday in Warriors blowout win. Promptly turns the ball over twice in his first 30 seconds on the court. Comes back to hit a couple buckets, grab 2 rebounds and get an assist.

Those numbers are not good. The 8 turnovers in 29 minutes is about what you expect for the entire team in what amounts to less than 3 quarters of game time. And he fouled out. Trying too hard to do too much?
