SAN FRANCISCO — Coach Steve Kerr on Sunday said he’s “hopeful” that Otto Porter Jr. will be cleared to play at the start of the Western Conference finals.
Porter has missed the last game and a half due to soreness in his right foot that flared up during the Golden State Warriors’ Game 5 blowout loss Wednesday night. Porter had done some court activity during shootaround Friday, including agility exercises and shooting.
Sunday was a light practice for the Warriors, with the high-minute players staying mainly off the court, while the lower-minute men played in a scrimmage. Porter rode a stationary bike during practice, but didn’t do anything on the court, according to Kerr.
