Warriors coach Steve Kerr first confirmed the news to Bonta Hill and Evan Giddings on Friday morning on 95.7 The Game.
Veteran guard De’Anthony Melton (knee, injury management) also will sit, in addition to Seth Curry as he continues to recover from a sciatic nerve-related injury.
It is the first game of a back-to-back for Golden State, which will host the Utah Jazz on Saturday.
Al Horford (sciatic nerve irritation) is probable.
Golden State (18-16) certainly will have its hands full against the reigning champs, who are 29-5 and dominating the Western Conference.
