Draymond Green Injury Update: Golden State Warriors’ Defensive Leader to Miss First Game of NBA Season

Bad news for Golden State Warriorsafter it was revealed by Shams Charania of The Athletic, that his defensive and emotional leader on the basketball court, Draymond Greenwill miss his team’s first game in the new campaign of the NBA.

Green, who is recovering from a ankle sprainwas not able to be one hundred percent for the night of Tuesday, October 24, when the Warriors will host the Chase Center to the Phoenix Sunsin a top-level match, between two offensively brilliant teams.

The veteran forward has missed all the preseason games due to the injury that occurred during a practice match, and although he has already been medically cleared to play in 5-on-5 practices, his debut will have to wait a few more days.

They will miss him

A player like Draymond Green is very difficult to replace, due to how much he contributes in a game, having an impact with his excellent defense, in addition to offensively being the team’s leader in assists for the last 3 years.

Green’s defensive presence will be missed tomorrow against the Suns, who have a brutally powerful offensive squad, led by Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal.

Draymond Green is already training, but for now, he will miss the first game of the year for the Warriors.

However, the club led by Steve Kerr has quite interesting pieces that will be able to take a step forward in Green’s absence, such as Jonathan Kumingafrom whom great things are expected in his third year, as well as from Moses Moody, the young people who aim to be the new generation of Golden State.

Despite the loss of Draymond Green, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Chris Pauland company, have enough to compete head-to-head against a power like the Suns, who on paper are contenders to win it all, but who must first demonstrate that the trio of Durant, Booker, and Beal can take Phoenix to the top. higher.
