— -- PORTLAND, Ore. -- Kevin Durant and Steve Kerr are both out for the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night.?

League sources told ESPN's Marc Stein and Chris Haynes that Durant will miss his second straight game in the Western Conference first-round series due to a left calf strain.?

Earlier Saturday night, the Warriors said Kerr would not coach because he is sick.?

Game 3 is in Portland, with tip set at 10:30 p.m. ET. The Warriors lead the series, 2-0.?

Durant had participated in Saturday's morning shootaround and had been listed as questionable entering Game 3.

He suffered the calf injury in the second half of a Game 1 victory Sunday. Without him in Game 2 on Wednesday, the Warriors trounced the Trail Blazers, 110-81.?

Durant said he felt good following practice Friday but admitted frustration in being hobbled again. He missed five weeks late in the regular season with a left knee injury.

Kerr, the reigning NBA Coach of the Year, missed the team's morning shootaround Saturday.?

The Warriors practiced in Oakland on Friday before flying to Portland, and Kerr clearly wasn't feeling well then. The 51-year-old Kerr still experiences lingering symptoms from complications following two back surgeries after the franchise's run to the 2015 championship. He missed the first 43 games last season dealing with headaches, nausea and an aching neck.

Top assistant Mike Brown will coach Golden State instead.
