The Golden State Warriors will be without D’Angelo Russell for Wednesday’s game against the Houston Rockets, while Draymond Green has been ruled out for the entire three-game road trip, coach Steve Kerr told reporters Wednesday.
Russell will miss his third straight game since suffering a sprained right ankle Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. Kerr said Russell could return for Friday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Kerr said that Green, who suffered a torn ligament in his left index finger Friday, is not traveling with the team and was ruled out for the next three games — against the Rockets, Timberwolves and Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Warriors will continue to start Ky Bowman, Jordan Poole, Eric Paschall, Willie Cauley-Stein and Glenn Robinson III, as they have since Saturday.
The 2-5 Warriors are off to their worst start since the 2011-12 season.
