With Kristaps Porzingis being ruled out on Sunday morning before hosting the Denver Nuggets at Chase Center, the Golden State Warriors’ injury report continued to grow before tipoff. Draymond Green is the latest member of the Warriors to be sidelined on Sunday, joining Porzingis (illness) and Stephen Curry (knee).
Before tipping off against the Nuggets, the Warriors ruled Draymond Green out as a late scratch with a back injury on Sunday.
Via @anthonyVslater on X:
Green is averaging 8.4 points on 40.9% shooting from the field with 5.7 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 26.5 minutes per game. Green went scoreless on 0-for-7 shooting in 18 minutes in Golden State’s loss to the Celtics on Thursday.
With Green out, veteran big man Al Horford will draw the assignment of defending Nikola Jokic. The Warriors will also lean on Al Horford and Quinten Post in the frontcourt on Sunday against the Nuggets.
