There's no relief in sight for the Golden State Warriors.

Head coach Steve Kerr revealed Saturday that forward Draymond Green was diagnosed with a torn ligament in his finger and will miss "the next few games, for sure," according to ESPN's Nick Friedell.

A specific timeline wasn't given, but the forward isn't expected to be absent long term, according to Anthony Slater of The Athletic.

Green revealed after Friday's loss to the San Antonio Spurs that he had been dealing with a ligament issue but didn't specify when it first arose. He played 34 minutes in the defeat but finished with just six points on 2-of-7 shooting from the floor.

The Warriors will also be without D'Angelo Russell on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets due to an ankle sprain. Franchise star Stephen Curry is currently sidelined until the new year after undergoing surgery for a broken hand.
