The Warriors Will Reportedly Activate Patrick McCaw For Game 6 Against The Rockets

The injury news around the NBA has been especially crappy over the last few days. The Houston Rockets announced that Chris Paul won’t be able to play in Game 6 against the Golden State Warriors due to a hamstring injury. One day later and the Cleveland Cavaliers let it be known that Kevin Love’s concussion-like symptoms will hold him out of Game 7 in Boston against the Celtics.

But shortly after the Love news dropped, we got a rare piece of good injury news. According to Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports, the Warriors should have some reinforcements off the bench against the Rockets in the form of second-year guard Patrick McCaw.

The last time we saw McCaw in uniform, he was being taken off the court via a stretcher due to a freak accident against the Sacramento Kings. McCaw went up for a layup and ended up falling hard on his back. It was a scary scene, and fortunately, he was released from the hospital a day later following an MRI.

McCaw almost certainly won’t single-handedly shift the series or anything, but he adds some much-needed depth to Golden State’s bench if he’s able to give the team productive minutes. At the very least, it’ll just be nice to see him take the floor again after what happened earlier this year.
