SAN FRANCISCO — The Golden State Warriors will be without Draymond Green for at least a week because of a mild calf strain, the team said Monday.
Green underwent an MRI on Sunday, and the team said Monday that its defensive leader will be reevaluated in one week.
He suffered the injury three minutes into Saturday’s win against Washington. He had just returned from a three-game absence due to illness and a back issue.
“He’s such a unique player,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said before facing the Boston Celtics on Monday. “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 did not play Monday and will also miss games this week at Sacramento, against Chicago and against the Los Angeles Lakers.
He is the Warriors’ latest key player to be sidelined. Jonathan Kuminga injured his right ankle on Jan. 4 and was ruled out for at least three weeks. He likely will need longer than that to return. Brandin Podziemski has been out since Dec. 28 with an abdominal injury, and Kyle Anderson is out with a glute injury.
The Golden State Warriors will be without their star forward Draymond Green for at least a week due to a calf injury. Green suffered the injury during a recent game and will now need some time to recover.
This news comes as a blow to the Warriors, who rely heavily on Green’s defensive prowess and leadership on the court. Green is known for his tenacity and versatility, making him a crucial player for the team.
While Green’s absence will be felt, this will also provide an opportunity for other players to step up and fill the void. The Warriors will need to come together as a team and adjust their game plan in order to continue their winning ways without Green in the lineup.
We wish Draymond Green a speedy recovery and hope to see him back on the court soon. In the meantime, let’s support the Warriors as they face this challenge and continue to strive for success. #GetWellSoonDraymond #WarriorsStrong
