Steve Kerr says Draymond Green is doubtful against Denver
Anthony Slater: Steve Kerr said Draymond Green should be considered “doubtful” to play in Denver tomorrow night. Warriors need to manage his calf issue.
Naturally, his efficiency was affected due to the added load, so when he returned, the 76ers put him on a minutes restriction and, “that didn’t sit well with me,” Maxey said. “As much as I can play, I’ll play,” Maxey said. “I’m trying to do different things, not on game days — I have to scale back a little bit just because I wanna play on the floor when it matters. I’m always gonna give 110 percent effort.”

Jrue Holiday on Zion Williamson: If he played more defense, he would elevate his game
“At least when I had him as a rookie, it was amazing; that’s just what he was capable of. They talk about the weight gain and doing all that, but I’ve seen him at 280, 290 still above the rim.” Holiday continued by discussing how he would influence Williamson if he were his coach. “For one, for him, I’d have him play a little more defense. That’s not a knock on him, I think that would make him the talent that he is, it would elevate his game. Offensively I think he’s got it, I think he does what he’s supposed to do. I think his play for other people is that he gets to the rim and gets to the free throw line, but I think for me, if he challenged himself defensively and his teammates saw that, I feel like they would follow.”
