Here’s what people were saying on social media:
Dalton Johnson: “Oh no, Quinten Post can barely walk”
Kenzo Fukuda: “Not good for Quinten Post. Might have rolled his ankle. Been dealing with a sprained left ankle. Warriors dealt another injury.”
@NateOnDubs: “Quinten Post gingerly walks back to the bench after suffering an apparent foot injury. Really struggles to walk. He just came back after missing three straight game due to an injury on that same foot.”
@Sheridanblog: “Damn it, Quinten Post hurt his ankle again right after playing great defense on Jokic. Really wish he didn’t try to force the action in transition, but he was too fired up about the blocked shot he had. Smh, looks like he’ll probably miss at least a week after that re-tweak.”
