Charles Bassey (knee) upgraded to available Sat.

Bassey made his first appearance of the season in Saturday’s loss to the Suns, playing 13 minutes off the bench. However, the Warriors missed Draymond Green and Al Horford, and both will be available on Monday. Bassey’s playing time is likely to decrease. As for Williams, if cleared for Monday’s game, he’ll come off the bench after scoring 20 points as a spot starter on Saturday. His chances of sticking in the rotation are greater than Bassey’s, even though the Warriors will also get Stephen Curry and Brandin Podziemski back.

Bassey’s patellar tendinitis in his right knee kept him sidelined for the first two games of the season. With Draymond Green (back) doubtful, the Warriors could use Bassey back at the center position if he’s available Saturday.

Bassey will miss a second consecutive game as he continues to deal with patellar tendinitis in his right knee. Draymond Green started at center for Wednesday’s loss to the Lakers, and he may be asked to do the same against Memphis.

Bassey did not play in Wednesday’s opener against the Lakers, leaving the Warriors light on options at center. With Kristaps Porziņģis (illness) out indefinitely, Draymond Green may spend more time at center than head coach Steve Kerr would prefer. Al Horford can provide depth off the bench, but he’s unlikely to exceed 20 minutes.

With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) sidelined, the Warriors will have to rely on Draymond Green and Al Horford at center, offering rookie Yaxel Lendeborg the opportunity to see significant minutes right out of the gate. On the other side of the court, Walker Kessler could be in for a huge night against Golden State’s shorthanded and undersized frontcourt rotation.

Bassey showed some juice during the preseason and may be part of the rotation as a depth big man when he’s healthy. If he’s not available for this game, Al Horford will likely take on a few extra minutes, with Draymond Green spending most of his time at center.

With Quinten Post heading for Memphis, Golden State has turned to Bassey to fill out some backup minutes down low. Bassey finished out last season on a 10-day deal with the Warriors and is now on track to start next year as a reserve option for them down low.

Porziņģis will be back after missing Golden State’s last two games. He’ll occupy the starting center spot, which will push Jeenathan Williams to the bench after he played 35 minutes as a starter on Thursday. Charles Bassey will also play a significantly smaller role after recording a double-double in 30 minutes against the Lakers.

With Charles Bassey also expected to play, the Dubs may have a healthy big-man rotation for the first time in many games. Expect the trio to split minutes without one player seeing significantly more run than the others.

Upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Thursday, Bassey is now available to play against the Lakers. Due to the Warriors’ absences in the frontcourt, he should once again play rotation minutes off the bench.
