DENVER — Warriors reserve guard/forward Shaun Livingston will miss Sunday’s game against the Denver Nuggets (2-0) because of a left knee contusion. The timing coincides with the Warriors (2-0) also playing on Monday against the Phoenix Suns at Oracle Arena, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr maintained Livingston’s absence “has nothing to do with a back-to-back.”
“He’s pretty sore,” Kerr said before Sunday’s game. “I don’t have any plans for back-to-backs. At this point, we’re going to take it as it comes.”
Warriors forward Andre Iguodala will play on Sunday after missing Friday’s game against Utah because of tightness in his left calf.
