With Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala already slated to miss the game against the Brooklyn Nets, the Golden State Warriors added another player to the injury report ahead of Saturday’s contest.

During his first season with the Warriors, Bjelica is averaging 6.4 points on 45.3% shooting from the floor with 4.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 15.4 minutes per game off the bench.
In 16 minutes off the bench on Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Bjelica tallied five points on 2-of-2 shooting from the field with six assists.
If Bjelica isn’t available against James Harden, Kyrie Irving and the Nets, the Warriors could lean on Juan Toscano-Anderson and rookie Jonathan Kuminga in the second unit. Kuminga has played 15 or more minutes in nine of his last 10 games.
The Warriors are slated to host the Nets at 5:30 p.m. PT on Saturday at San Francisco’s Chase Center.
