Warriors beat: Players to visit kids in lieu of White House visit.

In lieu of visiting the White House, the Warriors have decided to go on a private tour of an undisclosed location Tuesday, a team source confirmed with The Chronicle.

ESPN was first to report news of Golden State’s plans for its only visit this season to the nation’s capital, when it will be in town to play the Wizards on Wednesday.

After discussing several options as a group, the players chose a venue where local children can join them. The visit will be closed to media.

“It’s their championship. They got disinvited to the White House, so it’s up to them what they wanted to do. So, they made their plans,” head coach Steve Kerr told ESPN. “I want the players to have a good day and to do something positive and to enjoy what they’re doing.”

A day after Stephen Curry derided President Trump at the team’s media day in September, Trump tweeted: “Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team. Stephen Curry is hesitating, therefore invitation is withdrawn!”

Bell update: The Warriors still aren’t sure when forward

Jordan Bell will be available, but they do know this much: When he returns, Bell will slide back into the rotation.

“He’s going to play,” Kerr said. “I think he started the game he got hurt. I think he started 10 games. We need that kind of versatility.”

Bell, who was re-evaluated by team doctors Thursday, has missed 13 games with a swollen left ankle. After participating in his first full-court scrimmage in more than a month Wednesday, he told reporters that he feels no lingering soreness and expects to return to games soon.

His absence has been glaring for a team that often has struggled with complacency. An instant-energy big man, Bell is adept at running the floor, throwing down alley-oop dunks and guarding multiple positions. His ability to switch off screens and defend guards is increasingly valuable as the NBA trends toward small-ball lineups.
