UPDATE: Reporters confirmed Thursday afternoon that both Russell and Cauley-Stein will remain out of the lineup vs. the Timberwolves. Both players will be re-evaluated on Friday.
Willie Cauley-Stein did not make the trip to Minnesota and D'Angelo Russell is out tonight. Will be re-evaluated tomorrow.

UPDATE: D’Lo and WCS will remain out for Thursday’s game vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Golden State Warriors G D’Angelo Russell and C Willie Cauley-Stein have been ruled out for Tuesday’s game vs. the San Antonio Spurs.
There’s an illness going thru the Warriors locker room. Willie Cauley-Stein and D’Angelo Russell will be OUT for the game against the Spurs. Ky Bowman was called up, but held out of practice today to manage his two-way days.

There’s an illness going around the Warriors locker room and two starters will have to sit as a result. Ky Bowman was called up from the G League and could soak up some minutes. Alec Burks and Marquese Chriss should enter the lineup in place of D’Lo and WCS against the Spurs. Both are good value options and decent pickups in season-long fantasy basketball. I’d also expect Bowman to get some run and even Alen Smailagic.
