[Slater] Steph Curry will play tonight at Lakers on the second night of a back-to-back. Draymond Green is probable. Moses Moody and Gui Santos are questionable. Bench depleted while Jimmy Butler trade finalizes. Butler is expected to join team in LA but not yet debut.

[Emerman] The Jimmy Butler trade isn’t yet finalized, but he’s in Los Angeles ready to join the Warriors, I’m told. Not expected to debut until later this road trip. Chicago, Milwaukee, and back-to-back in DAL/HOU before All-Star break. He’s working on a new playlist in the meantime.

[Stein] The Warriors made another run at Chicago's Nikola Vučević on NBA Trade Deadline Day, league sources say, but talks fizzled as the teams could not agree on a trade construction.

[Stein] The expectation, I'm told, is that newly acquired Anthony Davis will make his Mavericks debut Saturday at home against Houston rather than tonight in Boston.

[K.C. Johnson] More fluidity: Currently no momentum for a Vucevic to Warriors deal. Two hours to go . . .

[Fin] BREAKING: Cheyenne Parker-Tyus has signed with the Las Vegas Aces. The deal was done last night, and now shows on WNBA transactions

[Slater] Gui Santos left tonight’s game with left patella tendinitis, per Warriors. Another hit to their depth as they reshape their roster this week.

[Scotto] Once the Golden State Warriors finalize the Jimmy Butler acquisition, the team is expected to convert two-way center Quinten Post to a standard NBA contract, league sources told @hoopshype . Post has averaged 6.9 points and shot 37.5% from 3-point range heading into tonight's game

Jimmy Butler's 1st Post-trade Tweet: "welcome to the wild wild west 🎶"

[Slater] The Warriors sent a 2025 top-10 protected first rounder to the Heat as part of the Jimmy Butler trade, per sources. If it doesn’t convey this season (it likely will), it turns into a top-10 protected first rounder next season.

[Charania] New Golden State Warriors star Jimmy Butler has agreed to a new two-year, $121 million extension with the franchise through 2026-27, sources tell me and @WindhorstESPN . Butler is declining his 2025-26 player option for this new $121M deal.

BREAKING: The Miami Heat are finalizing a deal to send Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors for Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson and a protected first-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

[Youngmisuk] The Golden State locker room has been closed just now during open media time. Steve Kerr is addressing the team. Players that were on the floor were brought back into the locker room.

[Charania] The Washington Wizards are trading Jonas Valanciunas to the Sacramento Kings for Sidy Cissoko and two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.

[Stein] Sacramento has acquired Jonas Valanciunas, league sources tell @TheSteinLine .

[Stein] The Warriors have now shifted their trade focus to acquiring Jimmy Butler, @TheSteinLine has learned. Dennis Schröder's expiring contract is a central element of its trade pursuit of Miami's Jimmy Butler.

[Slater&Amick] If the Warriors don’t land Butler or shock the NBA world by prying a co-star from elsewhere across the landscape, they are expected to move onto secondary pursuits like Vučević and Ingram. One team source described them as still “determined” to get something done prior to deadline

[Kroichick] GP2 knows the Warriors are exploring their options ahead of trade deadline. He understands his expiring contract makes him a logical candidate to land in any deal. But, no, he’s not worried about it. “Worse s— has happened to me in my career. Getting traded is better than getting waived”

[Moody] Moses Moody has been downgraded to out with a lower back strain for tonight against Utah.
