Golden State Warriors superstar Draymond Green is one of the toughest players on the court. For that reason, he is exposed to dangerous plays and falls which often pose a problem for the four-time NBA champion. When the Warriors took on the Los Angeles Lakers in game 4 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals, Green had a nasty fall. On the latest episode of The Draymond Green Show, the Warriors star opened up on the results of the game and his dangerous fall.
Green also revealed that he suffered from a major disorder ever since he was a child. For that reason, he got himself checked after the fall and his mother and grandmother were very tense about the situation.

A concussion is a very serious but common disorder among athletes. Draymond Green recently survived a major concussion scare. During the second quarter, Green and LeBron James collided.
While James certainly didn’t mean to hurt Green, the former Defensive Player of the Year banged his head and appeared to hurt his back of the head.
On the latest episode of The Draymond Green podcast, the Warriors star revealed how he got his concussion checked. Green said, “I took a hard spill last night. Back of the head was checked for concussion, checked out well, gotta get checked again today. I feel great, so not expecting anything. But especially as a kid who grew up having seizures, those are things that I don’t take lightly.”
It seems Green suffered from epilepsy as a child. Over 50 million people worldwide suffer from epilepsy, similar to Green. He further added, “So, when there are things to the head, I don’t take them lightly just knowing that my history, my grandma has been on my phone all day, my mother has been on my phone all night and through this morning.”
He further added that he has been off epilepsy medicine for more than five years now. The 33-year-old had suffered from seizures and epilepsy since he was a young kid, but he didn’t have any major issues since he was 13-14 years old.
