Hayes won't play Tuesday versus the Thunder due to left foot soreness, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.

Maxi Kleber will have the chance for some extended minutes with Hayes out, and Drew Timme might be able to get into the rotation. For now, Hayes should be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Leons will start Tuesday's game against the Kings, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

With Kristaps Porzingis (knee) and Gui Santos (pelvis) unavailable, Leons will start against Sacramento. During his lone start in a loss to New York on March 15, the two-way player chipped in two points, five rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 20 minutes.

Richard will start Tuesday against the Kings, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

Richard is getting the start with Gui Santos (pelvis) unavailable, and the former will be joined in the first unit by Brandin Podziemski, De'Anthony Melton, Malevy Leons and Draymond Green. As a starter this season, Richard has averaged 8.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 triples and 1.3 steals per game.

Curry (knee) will come off the bench and is expected to play about 25 minutes in Tuesday's game against the Kings, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

Curry will come off the bench for a second consecutive contest following a 27-game absence due to a right knee issue. During Sunday's loss to Houston, the superstar supplied 29 points (11-21 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes off the bench.

Martin (heel) is out for Tuesday's game versus the Clippers.

Martin hasn't played since March 15, but he was listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game, which can be considered a sign of progress. His next chance to play will come Wednesday in Phoenix.

Gafford (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

Gafford will miss the front end of this back-to-back due to a right shoulder impingement, and the big man faces a short turnaround if he hopes to play in Phoenix on Wednesday. Marvin Bagley will likely start in Gafford's stead, while Dwight Powell is expected to see increased playing time.

Bagley (shoulder) will play Tuesday against the Clippers.

Daniel Gafford (shoulder) is out, so Bagley could be looking at a starting role Tuesday evening. Per 36 minutes this season, Bagley has averaged 18.4 points, 11.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.

Williams (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Clippers, Farbod Esnaashari of SI.com reports.

With Williams unavailable, Ryan Nembhard and AJ Johnson will have a chance to get back into the rotation. For now, Williams should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game in Phoenix.

Washington (elbow) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Farbod Esnaashari of SI.com reports.

Washington was a late addition to the injury report Tuesday and will be held out of the front end of this back-to-back set due to left elbow soreness. He faces a short turnaround if he hopes to suit up Wednesday in Phoenix. With Washington out, Klay Thompson and Khris Middleton are candidates to see increased playing time, while Tyler Smith could enter the rotation.

Curry (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

As expected, Curry will shed his probable tag and suit up for a second consecutive contest. The superstar returned from a 27-game absence due to a right knee issue in Sunday's loss to Houston, during which he tallied 29 points (11-21 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes off the bench.
