Kevin Durant has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans with a left ankle sprain.

Durant also missed Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

Steve Kerr admitted the Warriors should have sat Durant in Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

"We probably shouldn't have played him Wednesday," said Kerr. "I thought he was fine but then he got a little sore afterward."

The NBA had designated the game as one of its "marquee" matchups for national television.
