Danny Green has been a reliable starter for Gregg Popovich and the Spurs the last few seasons, but San Antonio won't have his services on Tuesday night in Oakland.
The veteran shooting guard, entering his eighth NBA season, is expected to miss the first three weeks of the season with a left quad strain.
The Spurs made the announcement Friday afternoon.
Green started all 79 games he played in last season and averaged 7.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists per contest.
The Spurs and Warriors tip-off the 2016-17 season Tuesday night at 7:30pm at Oracle Arena.
