Draymond Green Doubtful for Warriors' NBA Cup Game Against Nuggets

The veteran forward is dealing with left calf tightness, complicating Golden State's rotation plans against Denver's Nikola Jokic.

  • Draymond Green is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets due to left calf tightness, despite being officially marked as questionable.
  • This would mark Green's first missed game of the season, disrupting Golden State's defensive plans and rotation adjustments during a four-game losing streak.
  • Head coach Steve Kerr emphasized the need to manage the workload of both Green and Stephen Curry as they deal with nagging injuries in their later careers.
  • Curry, who has been managing bilateral knee tendinitis, is expected to play against Denver but noted this type of injury is new for him.
  • Without Green, the Warriors face a tougher challenge against reigning MVP Nikola Jokic, with Kyle Anderson, Kevon Looney, and Trayce Jackson-Davis expected to step up defensively.
