Warriors’ Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala cleared to play vs. Pelicans

NEW ORLEANS — Warriors forwards Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala will be available for Friday night’s game against the Pelicans, Golden State head coach Steve Kerr said.

It is a best-case-scenario development for a Warriors team trying to move past Tuesday’s season-opening loss to the Rockets. Facing one of the league’s most formidable frontcourts in DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis, Golden State can use two of its best, most versatile defenders.

Even Green was somewhat surprised that his knee injury ended up being so minor. Late in the third quarter of Tuesday’s 122-121 defeat, after getting fouled on a running jumper and landing awkwardly, Green worried that he might have torn the meniscus in his left knee.
