OAKLAND -- The right knee soreness that Draymond Green experienced Tuesday, keeping him out of Warriors practice, lingered into Wednesday and likely will keep him off the court for the rest of the week.

If you’re a Warriors fan prone to worry, you now have a reason.

Though Green will travel to Seattle with the team Thursday, he will not play in the preseason game Friday night against the Sacramento Kings at KeyArena.

“Just being careful,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after practice. “He still had a little inflammation this morning.”

An MRI test on the knee was clean, according to Kerr, who at this time doesn't consider this to be a long-term problem.

In Green’s absence, Jonas Jerebko likely will start Friday night.
