OAKLAND — Warriors reserve guard/forward Shaun Livingston will miss his second consecutive game when the Warriors (2-0) host the Phoenix Suns (1-1) on Monday at Oracle Arena because of a left knee contusion. Livingston also stayed sidelined during Sunday’s loss in Denver.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr offered that Livingston’s absence may provide increased playing time for fourth-year guard Quinn Cook, training camp invitee Alfonzo McKinnie or rookie guard Jacob Evans. It appears less likely Evans will have a heftier role considering he has had healthy scratches through the Warriors’ first three-regular season games.
Evans averaged 3.2 points on only 24 percent shooting in 18.
