The Warriors say Steph Curry will be re-evaluated for his ankle injury on Tuesday. So that rules him out of both Spurs games — tonight in SF and Monday in San Antonio. The Warriors play Wednesday in Dallas and next Saturday in LA vs Lakers. – 6:07 PM

Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Jason Kidd on Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey:
“These two young guns are coming. They both had 30 the other night. It puts a lot of pressure on your defense. We gotta keep them in the halfcourt. We can’t let them get in the open court because that’s when they’re at their best.” – 6:01 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Jason Kidd on Cunningham: “You look at what Cade’s doing right now, he’s one of the hottest players in the 2nd half of this season. He’s shooting the ball at a high rate. He’s scoring the ball. He’s being aggressive. You can see he’s comfortable with what he’s trying to get to.” – 5:57 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
Monty Williams: “When they made the trade for Gafford I was like, ‘Golly, that’s such a great rim-roller and presence in the paint.” Williams also described Washington as versatile, “a lot like Stewie (Isaiah Stewart).” – 5:49 PM
Dan Favale @danfavale
since mid december, cade cunningham is shooting 51.9% on pull-up 2s (67-of-129) and 41.2% on pull-up 3s (21-of-51), including 47.4%(!!!) on step-back 3s (9-of-19) pic.twitter.com/RzPAfTtNAm – 5:34 PM

The Mavericks say Luka Dončić (right elbow sprain) will play tonight in Detroit.

Luka will be available tonight for Mavs at Detroit. He was questionable. Dereck Lively is out (personal reasons). – 5:34 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Jason Kidd says Luka Doncic is active for tonight’s game against the Pistons. – 5:33 PM

Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Monty on if, in a perfect world, one of Cade or Ivey is on the floor at all times: “I think so. I wouldn’t go that far and put that much pressure on two young guys like that. We have to be more team-oriented than that.” Said he’s more concerned about having at least 2 starters on – 5:19 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
Monty Williams on if it’s a perfect world having Cade/Ivey on the floor at all times: “I think so. I wouldn’t go that far and out that much pressure on two young guys like that. I think we have to be a bit more team-oriented than that.” – 5:17 PM

Having once been a member of the Kai Havertz Isn’t Good Enough club, I’d just like to state for the record that I was never a member of the Kai Havertz Isn’t Good Enough club, that he has always been good enough, that I’ve always said that, and that you needn’t check otherwise. – 2:34 PM

Good early run from Brock Cunningham despite the broken thumb.
Banged a 3, nice backdoor pass to Tyrese Hunter for a layup, playing aggressively. – 2:14 PM
Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman

Very underrated food scene in Detroit. Outstanding quesabirria for lunch from the Antojitos Southwest food truck in the Corktown Historic District and dinner last night at the always solid Ottava Via where they make a delicious cacio e pepe. I added grilled chicken, don’t judge. pic.twitter.com/WbwU9EHS9f – 1:24 PM
