Warriors vs. Pelicans GameThread: Patrick McCaw upgraded to 'probable' for Golden State

The Golden State Warriors will face the winless New Orleans Pelicans tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Oracle Arena looking to shake off an ugly loss against the L.A. Lakers on Friday night and get back on track.

To help with their cause, budding legend Patrick McCaw looks like he'll be ready to go after suffering an ankle injury in the Warriors' previous game against the Pelicans in New Orleans. ESPN's Ethan Strauss tweeted earlier tonight that he Golden State coach Steve Kerr assumes McCaw will play.

Patrick McCaw missed practice for personal reasons (excused absence). Kerr is "hopeful" he'll be ready to play tomorrow for Warriors.

Let's hope McCaw can pick up from where he left off and continue his obvious path to superstardom (I kid...sort of).
