Warriors’ forward Draymond Green will sit out Friday’s game against the Jazz in Utah, with the team citing rest. Rookie forward Eric Paschall is listed as doubtful as he heals from lingering hip soreness.
Green, who has missed nine games this season with various injuries to his back, finger and heel, played 39 minutes in the Warriors’ overtime loss to the Knicks on Wednesday. The Warriors plan to strategically rest Green this season as they monitor his workload. In 17 games this season, Green has averaged 9.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.9 assists in 28.8 minutes per game.
