Anderson won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Mavericks due to back spasms.

EDGE Analysis

Despite not appearing on the injury report all day, back spasms will cause Anderson to miss his first contest of the season Tuesday. Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Anderson's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Memphis.

Anderson notched six points (1-3 FG, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 16 minutes during Monday's 125-112 victory over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

After a slow start to the season, Anderson is quietly trending up for the Warriors. In his last four appearances, he's averaging 6.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 18.8 minutes. He's someone to keep an eye on whenever the Warriors are shorthanded.

Anderson totaled one point (0-9 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and five steals across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 124-106 win over New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Considering how many key players were missing for Golden State, this was a brutal dud for Anderson. He's off to an eerily quiet start with his new team, averaging 2.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists while hitting 22.2 percent from the field through four games.

Anderson is in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Kings, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Steve Kerr is shifting things around for the third game in a row, and Anderson will start in the frontcourt alongside Draymond Green in a small-ball lineup. Moses Moody, Gary Payton and Stephen Curry round out the rest of the first unit.

The Warriors are planning to sign Anderson to a three-year, $27 million contract in exchange for a second-round pick swap and cash considerations as a sign-and-trade with the Timberwolves on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson will head to Golden State after spending the previous two seasons in Minnesota. In 2023-24, the 30-year-old forward averaged 6.4 points, 4.2 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 22.6 minutes across 79 appearances, including 10 starts. After the departure of Klay Thompson, Anderson will likely compete for minutes in the Warriors' forward rotation with Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody.

Anderson averaged 4.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.3 blocks across 15.3 minutes in 15 playoff appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson will be an unrestricted free agent this season, and his future in Minnesota is currently unclear. The 30-year-old averaged 6.4 points, 4.2 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks across 79 regular-season games, a slight decline from just a year before. However, the veteran wing could be useful for many contending teams and is bound to have several suitors this offseason.

Anderson provided seven points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Thursday's 124-103 loss to the Mavericks in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson's 33 minutes played in Game 5 were his highest of the series, largely due to his role in guarding Luka Doncic. Anderson will end the Western Conference Finals averaging 7.4 points, 3.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 22.4 minutes across the five contests. The 30-year-old forward will head into the offseason as an unrestricted free agent. Anderson's future in Minnesota is uncertain as he went from averaging 28.4 minutes across 69 appearances, including 46 starts in 2022-23, to 22.6 minutes across 79 appearances, just 10 of which were starts, in 2023-24.

Anderson will return to a reserve role in Friday's Game 3 against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

No surprise here, as Rudy Gobert (personal) is back with the team. As a result, Anderson should take on his usual role providing depth at forward.

Anderson will start Monday's Game 2 against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson will take Rudy Gobert's (personal) spot in the starting lineup. Anderson didn't factor in much during Game 1, finishing with two points, two rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes of action. While Anderson is set to draw the start, look for Naz Reid to play a key role off the bench after dropping 14 points in the fourth quarter of Saturday's Game 1.

Anderson (hip) will play in Sunday's game against the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson carried a questionable tag into Game 4, but he will officially be available. Anderson has seen limited action this postseason, so he doesn't figure to have much fantasy appeal in most formats.
