What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Steve Kerr says Jonathan Kuminga will get more minutes in Draymond Green’s absence. Kuminga is coming off the best game of his rookie season. He had an extended post-shootaround film session with Kerr this morning in Minnesota. pic.twitter.com/sFTELdlYh0 – 6:44 PM

Steve Kerr on Draymond Green’s back/calf issue after discussing with Rick Celebrini last night: “The main thing is to be safe and cautious. It’s a long season. That’s my sense. That we’re being cautious.” – 6:39 PM

Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
The Warriors will need continued and perhaps more impact from rookie Jonathan Kuminga with Draymond Green out. The power forward averaged 17.6 points and 5.3 rebounds in 21.3 minutes in the last three games. – 6:36 PM

James Plowright @British_Buzz
The Draymond Green injury sounds scary and complicated. A back disc giving calf pain is a sign of a major issue, wonder if this forced GSW into a move ahead of the deadline – 6:27 PM

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
The Warriors’ frontcourt depth will be tested without Draymond Green for the near term, but have options — Otto Porter, JTA, the emergence of Jonathan Kuminga. But real concern is whether this Draymond calf injury lingers around as extended problem. – 6:26 PM
