Warriors' Kyle Anderson: Good to go vs. Memphis

Warriors forward Kyle Anderson is available to play in Wednesday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies after entering the NBA’s health and safety protocols on Jan. 5. Anderson missed Golden State’s 122-120 win over Memphis on Jan. 7 due to the protocols. In 25 games this season, the 29-year-old is averaging 4.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.

The Warriors will be without Stephen Curry (left shoulder subluxation), Klay Thompson (right knee injury management), Draymond Green (left calf contusion) and JaMychal Green (right foot soreness) against the Grizzlies. James Wiseman (right knee) remains out indefinitely.

Anderson should see an increased role with Curry, Thompson and Green all sidelined. The 6-foot-9 forward has started 12 games this season and is averaging 19.5 minutes per game. He is a versatile defender who can guard multiple positions and is a solid rebounder for his size.

The Warriors are 24-24 this season and are currently in eighth place in the Western Conference. They are 1-1 against the Grizzlies this season, with both games being decided by two points.
