That’s the big three of the Warriors dealing with injuriesas Stephen Curry, Draymond Greenand Jimmy Butler could miss another game. Kari deals with the diseaseGreen has a right rib contusion and Butler has a right lower back strain.
All three missed last game against the Sacramento Kings, and some wonder if the same will happen against the Nuggets. If they want to keep their chances in the NBA Cup, they’d better be on the floor. Curry has already been ruled out early, so it would be up to Green and Butler to carry the load if they play.
Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler injury status vs. Nuggets
Green is listed as probable and Butler is listed as questionable due to their play against the Nuggets. That sounds like good news for the most part, and Butler may be able to try. Butler has dealt with and without injuries over the past few years, and knows the importance of being available, which is why more times than not, he ends up playing through an injury if he can.
The The Warriors beat the Nuggets earlier in the season, but everyone was healthy and on the court then. It won’t be an easy match, especially with Nikola Jokic finding his style in the last few matches and once again averaging a triple-double. Green is usually the point guard for Jokic, so he’ll have his hands full, but he’s confident in his ability to contain him.
As for Butler, he will have to worry about the other players the Nuggets have on the perimeter.
