Would the weight of the years start to be felt on the side of the Warriors? After Stephen Curry (36 years old) whose knees require special monitoring, this is the case of Draymond Green (34 years old) which now concerns Steve Kerr’s medical staff. The presence of the Golden State interior was called into question for tonight’s meeting in Denver, following the training the day before, in which he did not participate.
If the franchise officially listed him as “questionable”, leaving doubt, Steve Kerr for his part suggested that he would probably have to do without the services of his veteran.
“I would rather say that his presence is uncertain. We must take all precautions. We’ll see how he can hold up.”he said yesterday, citing Kevon Looney, Trayce Jackson-Davis and Kyle Anderson to potentially take over on defense from Nikola Jokic, a role usually assigned to Draymond Green.
Ends of career to manage as best as possible
The muscular alert felt in the calf by Draymond Green also serves as a reminder for the entire franchise, and Steve Kerr did not fail to call on everyone to mobilize to get through this delicate moment.
“This is what our daily life is going to look like for this team at this point, at the stage where Draymond and Stephen’s careers are. We must try to lower their number of minutes as best we can. We must try to keep them healthy by being hyperactive on our part. If they have to deal with recurring injuries, as was the case with Stephen Curry’s knee last week, and Draymond’s calf now, it’s clear that it’s something we will have to manage. , added the Bay coach.
The news clearly does not come at the best time, while Golden State (12 wins – 7 losses, 4th in the West) is at a standstill with four consecutive defeats before traveling to Colorado this evening for the NBA Cup, and that two clashes are looming at home against Wolves this weekend.
