Warriors resting almost everyone against Spurs

Also, that Draymond Green update finally come, and it's not ideal

San Antonio Spurs coach, Greg Popovich was the first NBA coach to really embrace the idea of strategically resting his players. He won a lot, and was able to extend the playing career of Tim Duncan because of managing minutes for years.

So it shouldn’t come as any huge surprise that Golden State Warriors head coach, Steve Kerr has taken the sentiment to heart and will be sitting a major chunk of the Warriors’ rotation tonight.

Steph Curry is out tonight in San Antonio. Sitting on the second night of a back-to-back. Warriors will also be without Andrew Wiggins, Otto Porter, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Draymond Green, Nemanja Bjelica, James Wiseman. Skeleton crew.

Also, that update on Draymond Green came in, and it is not exactly ideal.

First, General Manager, Bob Myers went on the radio this morning and offered many words, but little clarity. Turns out, Green is out at least through the All Star break (which is in around three weeks).

Warriors say Draymond Green will be re-evaluated prior to the All-Star break as he rehabs his lower back injury.

Looks like a skeleton crew tonight. Here’s hoping that it’s enough.
