Draymond Green (calf) likely out for Warriors until weekend
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (calf) is "doubtful" to play in a Thursday-Friday back-to-back against the Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls, per head coach Steve Kerr.
What It Means:
Kerr said Green is doing well, but that it's "far-fetched" to expect him to join the Warriors for the upcoming back-to-back. It's unclear whether Kerr expects Green to join the team for the final game of the road trip on Sunday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Juan Toscano-Anderson started in place of Green on Tuesday but played just seven minutes. Otto Porter or Andre Iguodala, who both played 20-plus minutes on Tuesday, could draw the start on Thursday. Nemanja Bjelica may also play more while Green is out.
Porter scored 21.2 FanDuel points in 28.4 minutes on Wednesday with an 11.8% usage rate. Iggy scored 12.6 FanDuel points over 20.9 minutes with an 11.4% usage rate. Bjelica produced 13.3 FanDuel points in 11.9 minutes.
