Steve Kerr, about Steph Curry and Draymond Green: "We will give them rest if that's what they need"

The forward for the Golden State Warriors, Draymond Green, is doubtful to play on Tuesday night against the Denver Nuggets due to discomfort in his left calf, as reported by coach Steve Kerr. Officially, Green is listed as questionable after not taking part in Monday's practice in Denver.

Kerr told the media after the training session that it was more likely Green wouldn't play, as the Warriors try to end a four-game losing streak by facing the current MVP, Nikola Jokic, and the Nuggets. "I would classify it as doubtful," Kerr said about Green's availability for the Tuesday game. "We need to be careful. We'll see how it evolves."

The Warriors are taking a cautious approach with veteran stars Green and Stephen Curry. Green has played in all 19 games for Golden State this season, averaging 8.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and shooting 40.3% from three, the best percentage of his career. Green is a key component in the Warriors' offense, excelling as a playmaker in addition to being the defensive anchor in Kerr's system.

Curry, who has already missed three games this season due to an ankle injury, is currently dealing with tendinitis in both knees. He was ruled out in the loss to Oklahoma City last week before returning in the defeat against Phoenix on Saturday. Curry, listed as probable for the game against Denver, stated on Saturday that he wasn't concerned about the knee pain, although he admitted he hadn't dealt with this issue before and acknowledged it could become a persistent annoyance. The point guard also wasn't certain if he would have to miss games in the future as part of a management plan for his physical condition.

"This is what it will be for our team right now, considering the respective stages in Draymond and Steph's careers," Kerr commented. "So we have to try to reduce their minutes as much as we can and keep them healthy by being proactive. If they are dealing with persistent injuries, like Steph's knees last week or Draymond's calf now, we definitely need to manage them."
