The Golden State Warriors have been affected by injuries in recent weeks, and during their Game 3 loss to Toronto, the team was without Kevon Looney, Klay Thompson, and Kevin Durant.

Ahead of Game 4 on Friday, ESPN is reporting that Durant remains out, although there are positive updates on Thompson and Looney:

Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant will not play in Game 4 of the NBA Finals because of the calf injury that has sidelined him for nearly a month, but Klay Thompson is expected to return Friday for Golden State.
After undergoing further evaluation of the non-displaced first costal cartilage fracture he suffered in Game 2, Golden State forward Kevon Looney could potentially return during the NBA Finals.

During the first two games of the series, Thompson averaged 23 points per game and connected with more than 50% of his three-point attempts.
