CLEVELAND – The Warriors may be without their best defender as they travel to play one of the Eastern Conference’s elite.
Draymond Green injured his right foot in the second quarter of Thursday’s game in Philadelphia. Sixers big Dominick Barlow landed on Green’s foot while battling for a rebound, and he departed the game and never returned.
Green was later seen wearing a walking boot on that foot a half hour after the final buzzer.
He was listed as questionable with a foot sprain on Friday afternoon in the official injury report.
Green has battled a right foot sprain since Nov. 21, when Blazers center Donovan Clingan also landed on that foot.
Despite dealing with that injury and playing in 20 of the team’s 23 games, his coach believed the 35-year-old has held up quite well form a physical standpoint.
“He looks good, and he looks lean, and he’s felt good,” Kerr said. “I don’t know if what happened tonight was related to the other night, but we will obviously be very careful with him, and we’ll see how he’s doing in Cleveland going forward.”
Green is averaging 8.0 points, 6.1 points, and 5.5 assists per game while playing 28.2 minutes a night.
Al Horford was ruled out with sciatica, which had held him out for almost two weeks prior to his return against the Sixers.
Seth Curry (right toe), Jimmy Butler (knee) and De’Anthony Melton (knee injury management) are all questionable.
Butler missed the previous game, while Melton played his first game in over a year on Thursday. Melton had been rehabbing from a torn ACL.
