“Unfortunately, they are just at the age and at the stage of their careers with so much wear and tear that no matter how you slice it, they’re gonna miss some games.” It was only a few days ago that Steve Kerr acknowledged the harsh reality about Draymond Green and Stephen Curry. Well, the Warriors are feeling the effects of their two ageing superstars constantly dealing with injury concerns as Green has missed the last two games due to an illness. Turns out, he could miss another one tonight as Steve Kerr gave a concerning update about Draymond’s health ahead of the Wolves clash.

As the former DPOY’s status remains questionable, Kerr shed light on how bad the situation is, “More illness today. He woke up not feeling well at all and came to shootaround and looked like a ghost. He was hoping that he would be better after nap this afternoon with some hydration. He’s not been well.” Yes, Draymond has been nowhere near 100% because of the illness. Moreover, he has also been dealing with and playing through back issues. Adding to the concerns, he wasn’t spotted at morning shootaround.

If he doesn’t suit up tonight, that would be a massive blow to the team because Draymond has been in solid form when healthy, averaging 8.7 points and over six rebounds. And he is also the defensive anchor and vocal leader of the squad. Unfortunately, he is not the only Warriors player dealing with injury concerns. Even Kyle Anderson will sit out tonight’s game. The reason? Hamstring soreness.

Well, the 31-year-old has been a solid backup forward for Kerr’s team and is averaging 5.4 points and over three rebounds. Surely, the Warriors are at risk of losing to the Wolves without their two star forwards. But a key player’s return could save the day!

Steve Kerr willing to “Fight” despite Draymond Green uncertainty as Warriors’ veteran is cleared for return

With Draymond’s availability uncertain, his team could be playing tonight’s game extremely shorthanded. But Kerr has not given up and is ready to put his best foot forward with what he has got, “Just fight. We gotta fight. We will mix and match some combinations and see what we can do.” Yes, the head coach highlighted that he has the option of playing small ball and rely on his fast pace offense, or match up against the Wolves bigs with the players he has available. “We’ll see what we can do.” He added.

Well, one good news is that Gary Payton II has finally been cleared for return. Yes, he has been out for the last ten games with a calf strain. But his availability will add more depth to the team. Moreover, Payton is a versatile guard who can play multiple positions, which will come in handy amid other players’ absence. Do you think the Warriors can sneak a win despite Draymond’s bad health and Slo Mo’s absence?
