Warriors' Dennis Schroder returns vs. Jazz after injury scare

Yesterday at 11:40 PM

Every win is important for the Golden State Warriors right now, who are battling to stay in the play-in picture and rise into the top six in the Western Conference. Unfortunately for them, that task got even tougher on Tuesday night.

During Golden State’s clash with the Utah Jazz, guard Dennis Schroder suffered a scary leg injury after landing awkwardly on a layup attempt. Schroder was helped to the locker room and was not putting any weight on his left leg, per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.

Schroder has been crucial for the Warriors as another ball handler who can allow Stephen Curry to play away from the ball and also run the offense when Curry is on the bench. The Warriors will now have to figure out another option as another point guard if Schroder is unable to return. As it stands, the Warriors lead the Jazz 80-70 late in the third quarter.

All concerns quickly subsided for Warriors fans shortly after the injury. Schroder went to the locker room before returning to the bench with ice on his lower leg. He quickly checked back into the game, so all appears to be well for the newly-acquired guard.

This story will be updated.
