NEW YORK — Although the Warriors have liked his steady progress in the past week, rookie forward Jordan Bell is listed as questionable to return for Monday’s game against the New York Knicks.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Bell “looked good” following practice here on Sunday evening after training without limitations in the past week. But the Warriors (46-14) are exercising caution with Bell, who has missed the past 14 games with inflammation in his left ankle. Nonetheless, Kerr said that Bell will return at some point on the Warriors’ three-game trip this week, which includes stops in Washington D.C. (Wednesday) and Atlanta (Friday).

Another pressing question: who will become part of the inactive roster once Bell returns? Kerr said that has become a difficult question to answer because he wants enough backcourt depth with second-year guard Patrick McCaw sidelined for the next three weeks with a non-displaced fracture in his left wrist. The Warriors recalled Quinn Cook from Santa Cruz, and wants him available so they do not have to play heavy minutes to veterans Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston.

“It’s tricky,” Kerr said. “It’ll probably be a big.”

Kerr has started veteran JaVale McGee for the past two games, but he remained open that veteran Zaza Pachulia will return to the starting lineup at some point. Kerr added it “depends on matchups.” Yet, Kerr has said that Bell will immediately become part of the rotation after averaging 5.1 points on 66.4 percent shooting and 3.9 rebounds in 14.4 minutes through 38 appearances. It sounds like Bell could see minutes at both the power forward and center spot.

“The four or the five for us is the same thing,” Kerr said. “So I don’t even know if he knows he’s playing 4 or 5. He just plays.”

Meanwhile, Warriors guard Stephen Curry did not attend Sunday’s practice because of personal reasons. The Warriors said Curry will be available for Monday’s game against the Knicks (24-37).
