Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green will be sidelined for at least one week due to a mild calf strain, the team announced Monday.

Green will be re-evaluated in a week to see how the calf is healing. The Warriors were hosting the Boston Celtics on Monday afternoon.

Green, 34, sustained the injury just three minutes into Sunday’s 122-114 home victory over the Washington Wizards.

“He’s such a unique player,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said of Green before Monday’s game. “He’s one of the best playmaking bigs in the league playing with Steph (Curry). When he goes out, we become more traditional, spread the floor, put shooters out there.

“Steph and Dray have such a connection that when they’re together out there, they’re playing their game and we’re playing our game. As soon as Draymond leaves the floor, it becomes a different game.”

Green’s brief appearance against Washington came after he missed three games due to a back issue and illness.

Green is averaging 8.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists in 34 games (32 starts). He is in his 13th season, all with the Warriors.
