After missing Tuesday’s game due to a calf injury, Golden State Warriors big man Draymond Green won’t miss too much time after all. The Warriors announced Thursday that Green had an MRI on Wednesday, which came back clear.
Green missed Tuesday’s NBA Cup game — a group stage loss to the Denver Nuggets — with left calf soreness.
Despite the negative test, the 34-year-old forward will still miss Thursday night’s game against the Houston Rockets. Green’s status moving forward, including for Friday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, is still up in the air, according to the Warriors.
With Green back on the bench Thursday, third-year forward Jonathan Kuminga is expected to step in.
In his 11th year as Golden State’s forward, Green is averaging 29 minutes, 8.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game.
The Warriors, who are 12-8, begin a three-game homestead on Thursday, including back-to-back games against the Timberwolves on Friday and Sunday.
