"He's just been really sick, but making some improvements, so we'll see how he is. It's just an illness. I guess he's closer, because we're getting deeper into the season, and he's feeling pretty well. It's something that Rick and I will discuss at the end of this week."
"Though Green sat out Sunday's win with lower back soreness, Kerr said that the forward would not be on a minutes restriction on Tuesday. Though De'Anthony Melton was also set to play after being questionable, he remained on a minutes restriction as the team eases him back to starter-caliber playing time while he recovers from an ACL tear."
"Kerr noted that the team will have several back-to-backs in March, three to be exact, and Al Horford and Porzingis already do not play back-to-backs. Horford was ruled out of Tuesday's game, which put him in line to participate against Memphis on Wednesday."
Warriors coach Steve Kerr provided updates on multiple player availability issues ahead of the team's road trip to New Orleans and Memphis. Kristaps Porzingis, acquired via trade for Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield, missed both Sunday's game against Denver and the New Orleans matchup due to illness, though he is improving. Draymond Green returned to the starting lineup without minutes restrictions after missing Sunday with lower back soreness. De'Anthony Melton played while on a minutes restriction as he continues recovering from an ACL tear. Al Horford and Porzingis are managed to avoid back-to-back games, with three back-to-backs scheduled in March. Steph Curry remains out with runner's knee through at least March.
