In addition to Kerr, Kevin Durant will also miss tonight's game.
The Warriors have decided to hold Kevin Durant (calf) out of Game 3 in Portland, league sources say, so no Durant or Steve Kerr tonight.

It's a precautionary move by the Warriors. If this were the NBA Finals, Durant would be playing.
Original Story Below:
The Golden State Warriors didn't have Kevin Durant in game two of the series against the Portland Trail Blazers. He might miss Game 3 tonight, as could head coach Steve Kerr.
Kevin Durant partipated in shootaround. Listed as questionable tonight vs Blazers. Steve Kerr, under weather, wasn't here. Hopes to coach.

That Durant participated in the shootaround (and practice Friday) is a good sign he'll be able to play. Still, the Warriors could elect to take the cautious route.
Kerr would be the more intriguing absence. He missed a good chunk of the start of last year, as Luke Walton coached the Warriors while Kerr dealt with a back problem. Kerr will try to coach, but if he's still dealing with an illness come game time, he might not be able to coach.
Matt Barnes and Shaun Livingston are also listed as questionable by the Warriors.
