SAN FRANCISCO — Warriors rookie forward Eric Paschall (hip) will sit out Sunday’s game against the Sacramento Kings but will return for Wednesday’s game in Portland, head coach Steve Kerr said.
Paschall, 23, will miss his second-straight game with left hip soreness. The Warriors are being careful with their standout rookie, deciding it best to give him another game off as to not risk long-term injury.
In 25 games (19 starts), Paschall has averaged 16.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 30.9 minutes per game. He has the third-highest usage rating among the Warriors’ healthy players.
