Curry, Durant, Green uncertain for Kings game

The Warriors listed Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green as questionab­le for Monday night’s game against the Sacramento Kings, but are optimistic all three will play.

The Warriors probably will be without forward Andre Iguodala, who was listed as doubtful because of a sore left knee.

Iguodala was listed as probable for Saturday’s game against New Orleans and played 31 minutes. However, Warriors coach Steve Kerr hinted after the game that he would try to give Iguodala a night off in the near future to rest.

Iguodala, 33, has missed two games this season, missing the home opener against the Houston Rockets because of an injured back and a Nov. 11 matchup against the Philadelph­ia 76ers for a scheduled rest.

Durant has had time to heal his sprained left ankle after missing three of the Warriors’ past four games after injuring his left ankle last week in Philadelph­ia. The Warriors cited injuries to Green (right foot contusion) and Curry (right hand contusion) as more expected wear and tear through the NBA season, than any recent incident that caused them pain. Green also missed Friday’s game against Chicago for rest purposes.

The Warriors also have listed more players with injuries in recent days in hopes to satisfy the league office’s want to have detailed injury reports.

The Warriors had a day off on Sunday after playing back-to-back home games on Friday against Chicago and on Saturday against New Orleans. Durant planned to use the off day to receive more treatment on his left ankle.
