SACRAMENTO — The Golden State Warriors<\/a> will be without Stephen Curry<\/a> for their road game in Sacramento<\/a> on Wednesday night. Draymond Green<\/a> and Jimmy Butler III<\/a> have been deemed questionable. Butler, despite a tweaked lower back, is pushing to play, sources told ESPN.<\/p>\n

Curry is dealing with a cold he said is worsening. He stayed in San Francisco. Green has logged a bunch of minutes at center early in the season and has a right rib contusion. Butler left in the first half of the Warriors’ win<\/a> over the Suns on Tuesday night and there was serious skepticism about his status against the Kings, but he is attempting to get the green light after round-the-clock treatmentent.<\/p>\n

Warriors coach Steve Kerr called the three “wiped out” after a condensed schedule in the opening month, including three back-to-backs. Eight of their next nine games are on the road.<\/p>\n

“When all is said and done, of our first 15 games, I think they’ll come in 26 days in 10 different cities,” Kerr said. “To ask our players to sprint — full court pressure, either dealing with it or applying it, racing out to the 3-point line, covering 3-point shooters and then playing at this tempo — is dramatically different from what it was 20 years ago.”<\/p>\n

Butler and Green are 35. Curry is 37. Al Horford<\/a>, the team’s veteran center who won’t play both sides of any of its 15 back-to-backs this season, is 39. The Warriors have a performance staff led by Rick Celebrini and have been transparent about Celebrini’s plan to spot rest their older stars in a handful of games this season.<\/p>\n

“We all know what the real answer [to load management] is, and that is to shorten the season,” Kerr said with an eye of skepticism. “Good luck.”br\/]<\/p>\n
