The Warriors will not be a full strength for Wednesday’s game vs. the Rockets, and possibly a bit longer. According to Shams Charania and Anthony Slater, James Wiseman and Eric Paschall will miss time due to COVID-19 contract tracing.
How long is unclear according to Steve Kerr, but the COVID protocol usually mandates a seven-day absence, which would mean both players would miss four games.
Contact tracing. A few of the Warriors' assistant coaches on the developmental staff will be entering health and safety protocols as well. Rough time for the Warriors to lose Wiseman and Paschall, just as they were prioritizing developmental minutes. https://t.co/oTJ66WHViH

Kerr also revealed that the coaching staff has been affected.
“It’s two players and then I believe there’s four or five staff members,” Kerr said over Zoom. “I’m not allowed to say names, but it’s like six or seven people total.”
