Durant, Draymond won't play vs. Bulls
The Golden State Warriors will be without a pair of All-NBA forwards when they host the Chicago Bulls.
Kevin Durant has been ruled out of Friday's game with a sprained left ankle, while Draymond Green will sit out to rest, according to the Chicago Tribune's K.C. Johnson.
It'll be the second contest Durant has missed due to the ankle sprain, having sat out Sunday's 118-111 win in Brooklyn. He's putting up 24.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and two blocks over 16 games for the 13-5 Warriors.
Meanwhile, Green is set to miss his first game this season. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year is averaging 10 points, 7.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.4 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game.
With both Green and Durant out, rookie Jordan Bell will be active. The Warriors paid the Bulls $3.5 million to acquire the Oregon product's draft rights in June.
Golden State is looking to bounce back from Wednesday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder against a Bulls squad that's picked up only one road victory in 10 tries.
