LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Golden State Warriors said Draymond Green sat out his team’s Saturday clash with the Mavericks in Dallas due to a sprained toe rather than because of any lingering effects of his spat with teammate Kevin Durant.
Green missed two games last week against Milwaukee and Brooklyn after hurting a toe on his right foot against Memphis.
‘‘We decided to give him some time off,’’ Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.
‘‘We don’t know how long it will be. But the toe (injury) has been lingering.’’
Kerr added that Green will ‘‘probably’’ also miss the two-time defending champions’ game against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday.
Rumours of a feud between Green and Durant emerged after the pair had a heated exchange after the end of regulation time in Monday’s overtime loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, which led to Green being served a team-imposed one-game suspension.
