The Golden State Warriors continue to be without their stars, but they released updates on both Kevin Durant and Draymond Green.
Durant is likely not to play Tuesday against the Pacers, but he is actually probable to play on Thursday, per Anthony Slater of The Athletic.
Kevin Durant doubtful for tomorrow vs Pacers, probable for Thursday, Steve Kerr said. "He's getting very close."

The news on Durant is great for the Warriors and just in time. There are less than 10 games left in the regular season and with Stephen Curry almost assuredly out for at least the first round of the playoffs, Golden State needs Durant healthy and playing well.
As for Green, he is questionable for Tuesday's game, per Slater. He has been battling the flu lately.
Draymond Green questionable tomorrow. Back in the facility, still dealing with the flu.

The news on Green is obviously less than ideal. He is the emotional leader for the Warriors, despite his penchant for squirreling technical fouls. The good news on that front is the Green is dealing with a virus and not an injury. Rest will do the trick for him.
It's not only Durant and Green who are on the mend but getting closer. It was revealed Monday that Klay Thompson is back to shooting with his right hand, which was fractured a few weeks ago.
The Houston Rockets have the best record in the Western Conference, with the Warriors not far behind. But the priority for the Warriors right now should be getting everyone healthy.
Second in the conference is still a good position for the Warriors, and they have proven in the past that they can win early playoff rounds without key players. But having so many of their best guys out at the same time definitely puts a dent in their championship hopes.
The world waits with baited breath to see what happens with the Warriors.
