Five of Warriors’ rotation players out vs. Memphis

Steve Kerr’s top objective for the Warriors’ upcoming seven-game home stand is simple: Get players healthy.

Five rotation players — Stephen Curry (sprained right ankle), Zaza Pachulia (left shoulder soreness), Shaun Livingston (sore right knee), Draymond Green (right shoulder soreness) and Andre Iguodala (flu-like symptoms) — have been ruled out of Wednesday night’s game against Memphis.

Curry will be re-evaluated in a week, but the other four players could be back even sooner.

Green, who is poised to miss his fifth of six games, is expected to participate in a three-on-three scrimmage Thursday. General manager Bob Myers said in an interview on 95.7 The Game that “I'd expect him back on Friday (against the Lakers) or Saturday (against the Nuggets).”

Pachulia and Livingston, both of whom were seen hoisting shots after shoot-around Wednesday morning, are also nearing contact work. Iguodala will be available as soon he gets over his illness.

“I think we’re getting close to a lot of guys coming back, so that’s a good sign,” Kerr said. “Just take advantage of the (upcoming) stretch. We’re always tough at home, and it’s good to be home for the holidays. Enjoy the family members that are in town, and let’s put together a nice run.”

Curry, who will miss at least another four games, was seen working through his normal shooting routine after shoot-around Wednesday. Kerr said Curry won’t be involved in any scrimmages until he is re-evaluated by a team doctor next Tuesday.

With their four top ball-handlers out in Curry, Livingston, Iguodala and Green, the Warriors will have to be creative against the Grizzlies. Quinn Cook is the team’s only available true point guard, but Patrick McCaw, Kevin Durant and even Omri Casspi can also initiate the offense.
