Another game, another injury.
The Warriors got more bad news Monday when guard Jacob Evans was ruled out for the remainder of the game against the Pelicans in the first half with a left adductor strain. It's particularly poor timing for the Louisiana native.
Jacob Evans will not return. Left adductor strain. Bummer, especially for a homecoming game in Louisiana.— Kerith Burke (@KerithBurke) October 29, 2019
Golden State was already without Klay Thomson and Willie Cauley-Stein, and Kevon Looney didn't join the team for the current road trip. The Dubs really can't afford to lose another rotation player, so fingers crossed Evans' injury isn't serious.

Despite playing shorthanded, the Warriors went into halftime holding a 72-57 lead over New Orleans.
