The Golden State Warriors are navigating a challenging stretch without their iconic leader, Stephen Curry. Now, they face an additional hurdle as Draymond Green sits out a key Sunday showdown against the Denver Nuggets.
The news of Green's absence came as a surprise, announced just moments before the game was set to begin.
Why is Draymond Green Missing the Game Against the Nuggets?
Draymond Green was sidelined due to a lower back issue, according to the Warriors. This development was unexpected, as it was revealed mere minutes before tipoff in the Bay Area.
Green had participated in the previous two games post-All-Star break, making his sudden appearance on the injury list all the more surprising.
Some fans have begun to speculate about the reasons behind Green’s absence, with theories ranging from strategic moves by the Warriors to personal decisions by Green in light of Curry's absence.
At 35, Green is a seasoned veteran who requires additional rest and maintenance as his career progresses. While the injury doesn't appear to be severe, the timing of the announcement has certainly raised eyebrows.
Warriors fans will want to keep a close eye on this situation as it develops, hoping for a swift return of their defensive anchor.
