Green suffered the injury when Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan fell on him during a struggle for a loose ball during Friday’s 127-123 home loss.
This is the latest hit to a Warriors frontcourt that has already been depleted. Jonathan Kuminga missed his sixth consecutive game because of bilateral knee tendinitis, and Al Horford is out at least a week because of right sciatic nerve irritation.
Sources told ESPN that an MRI on Kuminga’s knees came back clean, so there was no structural damage. He has been complaining of pain for about two weeks and the Warriors were hopeful that he would be fine on Sunday, but that was not the case.
“He said he’s not progressing that well, so I can’t tell you what the outlook is,” Kerr told reporters Sunday. “He needs to feel better and be able to walk better before we get him out there.”
Horford left for the locker room in the third quarter after playing 18 minutes against the Blazers. The team initially ruled him out due to hamstring tightness, but later chalked it up to a sciatic problem. He will miss at least the next three games against the Jazz, Blazers and Pelicans.
