Warriors star Draymond Green will miss at least two weeks due to the ongoing soreness in his left calf, the team announced on social media. Green’s soreness is “tied to the involvement of a disc in his lower back,” according to the Dubs.
The three-time champion will receive physical therapy in the coming days and be reevaluated at the end of the two-week period. Golden State is 3-5 without Green this season, compared to 28-6 when he plays.
Despite missing Green, the Warriors managed to blow out the Bulls in Chicago on Friday, winning 138-96. Players such as Jonathan Kuminga (25 points), Nemanja Bjelica (11 rebounds) Otto Porter Jr. (nine points) all stepped up in Green’s absence. Porter received the start at power forward.
On the season, Green has averaged 7.9 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game, providing versatile defense at all five positions. The Warriors are set to begin a seven-game homestand on Tuesday that spans 13 days.
Wonder if that is from the 9th when it cropped up or from today.
Kuminga needs a great game tonight
Steve Kerr and Wiggins said this trade is a good trade for both teams
DLo trade for Wiggins and Kuminga
And Wolves attach a 35th draft pick
Ill take Wiggins>DLo
Kuminga>DLo
DLo>35th pick
Dude just sucks so much at defense…
Kuminga will be a better player in 2 years than Dlo has ever been.
and that 35th Pick bought us 1 year of Oubre. Not a bad haul in that trade.

Trying to play more Bjelica at Center is not going to work. He’s a Stretch-4, finesse player, and not a rim protector. We’re going to get killed when Looney comes off the floor.
JTA is too short to play Center, he’s only 6-foot-6.
I feel like Belli always makes the wrong first decision. When he is wide open he surveys until he isnt then pump fakes and drives, or he shoots the bad 3s while covered.
We can really see what Draymond Green means to this team during this stretch that he’s out. We know his importance on defense but I think offensively he makes things happen and run smoothly also.
He’s the player that can’t get hurt. More important to their style than any other
