DALLAS – Golden State Warriors star striker, Draymond Green, will not play Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks and will likely miss Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs, as he continues to recover from a sprained foot.
"We decided to give him some time," Warrior coach Steve Kerr said at the end of Saturday's game. "We do not know how long it will last, but the toe persisted, the injury was persistent, it was limited to a few minutes last night.
"He felt and we felt – our coaching staff felt – that we are going around in circles if we continue to play with him and it gets a little worse, we need to improve. we miss [Saturday], Probably [Sunday] night too. It's a daily affair, but we have to give it time to neutralize it and then put it back on the ground. "
Green missed two games last week because of his injury, then stepped away from Tuesday 's win over the Atlanta Hawks while serving a suspension of a match for "prejudicial conduct at. team "after a verbal altercation during and after the defeat against Monday in Los Angeles. Clippers.
Green did not score a point in the loss to the Houston Houston Rockets on Thursday, later recognizing that he had played "horribly".

"Steph is getting better every day," Kerr said. "And he's had a good jump in the last few days in terms of symptoms, he's doing a little more each day with [director of sports medicine and performance] millstone [Celebrini]. I talked to him and talked to Rick [Friday]and they both felt it was going in the right direction. "
After a week full of emotion, Kerr is confident that his team is doing better.
"I think we are in a better place today than a few days ago," Kerr said. "But it has to be on the ground, our guys know we need to bring more energy, more life into the game, and I'm confident we'll do it."
The Warriors' swingerman, Alfonzo McKinnie, will also miss Saturday's game because of foot pain.
