Head coach Steve Kerr told The Athletic’s Anthony Slater before Friday’s game <a href="https://x.com/anthonyVslater/status/1877848913614377394" rel="noopener">the specifics of the injuries</a>.</p><p>“Draymond’s back has been tight,” Kerr said pregame. “Steph still has fluid in his knee.”</p><p>The Warriors dynamic duo has been battling injuries throughout the season. However, they are two of the oldest players on the team. Curry is 36 and Green is 34, respectively. The two have been a part of countless winning seasons and championships. Curry and Green have four championships and were a part of a basketball dynasty.</p><p>Now, it’s about building that championship culture with the young players. To build that culture, they need to be active and playing. Kerr emphasized taking caution with their injuries, considering their age.</p><p>“When they’re injured, we have to be careful or they’re going to miss a month or two and there goes our season,” Kerr said. “It’s the reality when players get older.”</p><h2><b>Warriors are watching Stephen Curry and Draymond Green’s injuries</b></h2><p>Injuries come and go throughout the NBA, and the Warriors specifically. Curry and Green, they’re the engine of the Golden State’s success. The 19-18 record is reflective of their presence on the court. So far this season, Curry has been more injury-prone than in others.</p><p>For Green, he’s been consistent on the floor when he’s been healthy. Kerr is taking a cautious approach with his two stars. Even though players Jonathan Kuminga and Dennis Schroder have been productive, the team is run through the two stars. Still, Curry has <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/curryst01.html" rel="noopener">played 30 games</a> and Green has <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/greendr01.html" rel="noopener">played 33 games</a>.</p><p>Not to mention, the team is in a funk. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-draymond-green-admits-warriors-losing-soul">Green even mentioned that the Warriors are missing their soul</a> after a loss. No matter what, there’s plenty of concern with the injuries. In a three-game road trip, it’s unclear how long that Golden State will be without their two stars.</p><p>Although they sit ninth in the Western Conference, there’s still a lot of time left in the season. This easily explains Kerr’s hesitancy with the decision to monitor his two stars. Furthermore, besides Kuminga and Schroder, there hasn’t been too much consistency.</p><p>The Warriors will hope to win without their two stars against a high-octane offense in the Pacers. However, this can be a test to see where Golden State is without its two stars. They’ll need another player to step up tremendously if they want a victory.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has been active in Detroit sports journalism since 2011 previously working with Bleacher Report, 1130 WDFN, and Detroit Sports Nation.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Detroit Pistons</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The NBA world is starting to take notice of the breakout stardom of Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham.</p><p>Detroit came up short against the Golden State Warriors, losing 107-104 at Little Caesars Arena. Cunningham led all scorers with 32 points and flirted with a triple-double by dishing eight assists and grabbing six rebounds. The 6-foot-7 point guard sparked the late rally for Detroit by scoring 18 points in the fourth quarter. High praise was paid to Cunningham’s development from Warriors’ forward Draymond Green.</p><p>“Cade is a special player. At 6-foot-7, handling the ball, shooting the ball, getting to his spot is special. Dennis (Schroder) was just saying he got a little bit of that Luka (Doncic) in him. You’re not speeding him up, at all. He’s going to get wherever he wants to go, when he wants to go there,” Green explained. “He’s continued to grow in this league. He has this team playing good basketball and they’re following behind him. I think he’ll be an All-Star this year, definitely should be.”</p><p>Cunningham and the Pistons trailed by as many as 18 points to the Warriors. Detroit made a late push in the fourth quarter to try and steal the lead from Golden State. The Pistons cut the deficit down to three points with one final possession with four seconds left. Cunningham pulled off an intentional missed free throw in an attempt to gain one more possession. He inbounded the ball to shooting guard Malik Beasley for a three-point attempt that missed off the side, which sealed the loss.</p><p>Beasley <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/beaslma01/gamelog/2025" rel="noopener">finished the night with 21 points</a> in a starting role for Detroit. The Pistons squandered a poor shooting night from superstar Steph Curry who scored 17 points on 5-21 efficiency from the field and 2-14 from three.</p><h2>Steve Kerr is impressed with the Pistons development</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Cade-Cunningham-2.jpg"><figcaption>Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Warriors head coach Steve Kerr also shared positive sentiments of Detroit’s growth this season. After only registering 14 victories last season, Kerr pinpointed the areas of progress that are working for the rebuilding Pistons.</p><p>“I don’t think players improvement can ever be one thing. It’s a lot of things. It’s the beauty of basketball; it’s a team game. What I’m seeing with Detroit is they’re playing great defense. I think J.B. [Bickerstaff] and Luke [Walton] and their staff have just done a great job of giving these guys confidence and building their identity,” Kerr explained during the pregame presser. </p><p>“I read they’re blitzing more than anyone in the league. They’re using these young legs, the athleticism, the length, all these lottery picks, they’re using them well and those guys are growing and gaining confidence. Within that, Cade is the ball-dominant distributor, scorer that they drafted him to be. You love seeing young players and young teams develop. It’s great for their city, it’s great for the individual players, it’s great for the league.</p><p>The Pistons have become one of the biggest surprises throughout the NBA. After <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-detroit-j-b-bickerstaff-head-coach-cavs">hiring Bickerstaff this past offseason</a>, his installed coaching of defensive focus and ball movement has Detroit with reasonable expectations of postseason hopes this season. They still have areas to improve, but the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-jaden-ivey-stretchered-off-court-after-scary-injury-vs-magic">Pistons’ ability to stay competitive through adversity</a> shows how serious they are.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Currently at 18-18 and barely holding onto a play-in berth, the team is navigating unfamiliar challenges. After a difficult loss to the Miami Heat, despite Stephen Curry’s excellent showing, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-jeff-teague-stutter-warriors-must-do-draymond-green">Warriors forward Draymond Green</a> seemed his usual outspoken self late Tuesday evening.</p><p>On Tuesday, during the Warriors’ second consecutive disappointing loss, Green still managed to tally 10 rebounds and 10 assists. However, he appeared visibly downcast as the game concluded, getting up from the bench with ice wrapped around his back and knees, slowly making his way toward midcourt to exchange greetings with several Heat players.</p><h2><b>Draymond Green and the Warriors’ soul</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Draymond-Green-on-the-floor-for-the-Warriors.jpg"><figcaption>John Hefti-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Green addressed his teammates shortly after, telling them they had lost their spirit and soul and needed to reclaim both urgently. The Warriors (18-18) have dropped 15 of their last 21 games leading up to Thursday night’s matchup in Detroit, placing them in ninth place in the tight Western Conference standings.</p><p>“We can try to point to Xs and Os all we want, but the spirit of the team has to be right,” said the Warriors enforcer. “When stuff goes wrong, you gotta lift up and rise to the challenge. And right now I feel like we’re feeling sorry for ourselves and just kind of dropping our heads.</p><p>Green acknowledged that the responsibility falls on him to bring back the team’s intensity. When asked about his approach, he explained that he needs to stir up disruption, create turnovers, and avoid letting negative body language affect the team’s morale, <a href="https://x.com/NotoriousOHM/status/1877575206845227319" rel="noopener">as reported by</a> The Athletic’s Ohm Youngmisuk.</p><p>Warriors head coach Steve Kerr expressed a similar perspective earlier in the season, stressing the team’s ongoing quest to define its identity amid new additions and changing playing styles. With important games approaching, the Warriors face several challenges to address, both on and off the court, including the trade rumors that could impact their roster.</p><h2><b>What’s in store for the Warriors in the future?</b></h2><p>Draymond Green refrained from commenting on potential roster changes ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline, but he made it crystal clear that he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-jonathan-kuminga-set-miss-time-with-injury-amid-trade-rumors">does not expect the Warriors to part with Kuminga</a> in any trades.</p><p>The Warriors star forward has taken on a mentoring role for Kuminga, offering guidance both on the court and with words of encouragement off it. He expressed confidence in Kuminga’s potential, stating that the young forward could be the face of the franchise for years, implying that the Warriors would be reluctant to trade him for an established star.</p><p>Regarding the need to win now with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-stephen-curry-hits-warriors-with-reality-check-30-point-loss-to-kings">Curry still performing at an elite level</a>, Green emphasized, “JK can help us win now, 1,000%. Any guy who can put up 20 points a night at will, regardless of how the game is going, they can help you win now.”</p><p>Young talents like Trayce Jackson-Davis and Jonathan Kuminga, both showing promise this season, could also find their development trajectories altered if included in trade packages. Draymond Green’s recent comments about “finding the soul” of the team underscore how critical cohesion is to the Warriors’ success. A poorly executed trade could risk derailing the team’s morale further.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Warriors managed to grab a victory despite getting a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-stephen-curry-draymond-green-lead-long-injury-report-vs-pistons">rough shooting night from star man Stephen Curry</a>, who, despite finishing with 17 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists on the night, had difficulties shooting the basketball, making just five of his 21 field-goal attempts on the night (2-14 from beyond the arc).</p><p>Curry has been showing signs of his age more often than ever, which is to be expected considering that he’s already 36 years old and he’s been dealing with knee issues all season long. Thus, it is to be expected that his status for the Warriors’ Friday night contest against the Indiana Pacers, the second night of a back-to-back, <a href="https://x.com/NotoriousOHM/status/1877551368069669033" rel="noopener">is in doubt</a> according to head coach Steve Kerr, as per Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.</p><p>The Warriors will be evaluating how Curry feels and whether it’d be the astute decision to allow him to suit up against another team that’s currently in the middle of a winning streak in the Pacers. While there might be a bit of urgency on the Warriors’ part to win some ballgames after falling down the pack with a near-.500 record, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-stephen-curry-drops-truth-bomb-recent-knee-injuries">Curry’s health remains the long-term priority</a> for the franchise.</p><p>But it isn’t just Curry whose status is in doubt for the Warriors’ upcoming Pacers battle. Draymond Green is also questionable at best to play. It will be difficult for Golden State to compete against a rested Pacers team without Curry and Green, especially when Andrew Wiggins has already been ruled out and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-jonathan-kuminga-set-miss-time-with-injury-amid-trade-rumors">Jonathan Kuminga is out for a few weeks due to an ankle injury</a>.</p><p>Buddy Hield and Dennis Schroder will have to do some major lifting for the Warriors if Curry and Green miss time.</p><h2><b>Balanced Warriors effort gets the job done vs. the Pistons</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Warriors-guard-Stephen-Curry-30-shoots-over-Pistons-Cade-Cunningham.jpg"><figcaption>© Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>It’s not too often that Stephen Curry goes 5-21 from the field, but when he has an off-night, it usually means bad news for the Warriors. However, a balanced effort rescued Golden State, with Gui Santos even stepping up to score 13 points off the bench after not featuring in the rotation for most of the season.</p><p>Perhaps this means that the Pacers may be in for a trap game on Friday night when they take on the shorthanded Warriors that could be without Curry and Draymond Green.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Stephen Curry, Draymond Green injury statuses for Warriors-Pacers clash get intriguing updates

After a 12-3 start to the season, Stephen Curry and Co. are now 18-18 overall and in danger of sinking below .500 for the first time all season when they hit the road to play the surging Detroit Pistons on Thursday night. To make matters worse, the Warriors entered the day seeing Curry, Draymond Green, and several other key talents on the injury report.</p><p>Aside from <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-jonathan-kuminga-set-miss-time-with-injury-amid-trade-rumors">Jonathan Kuminga continuing to watch from the sidelines with his ankle injury</a> and Brandin Podziemski dealing with an abdominal injury that has forced him to miss five straight games, the Warriors will be without Moses Moody due to his ongoing left knee problems.</p><p>The good news is that <a href="https://x.com/BrettSiegelNBA/status/1877486056469127656" rel="noopener">Curry, Green, and Schroder will be playing</a> against the Pistons. All three players were originally listed as questionable to play.</p><p>Curry appeared on the injury report due to left knee inflammation, whereas Green was questionable with a left ankle sprain. While it is unknown when Green injured his ankle in the Warriors previous game against the Miami Heat, the veteran forward had a near triple-double performance with seven points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists in the 114-98 loss. Steph led all scorers with 31 points.</p><p>Schroder has been upgraded to available after initially being questionable with a left hip contusion.</p><p>Steph being able to play is good news for the Warriors, as they would’ve been very short-handed on the offensive side of the court without him. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-steve-kerr-harsh-reality-check-after-heat-loss">Golden State has struggled to score in recent games</a>, as they are averaging just 107.7 points per game over their last 13 contests, which ranks 25th in the league during this span. Curry is the only player on the Warriors averaging over 20 points per game, which is why his presence is vital to their overall success.</p><p>Even so, the Warriors have gone 5-2 without Curry this season, picking up two wins over the Houston Rockets and New Orleans Pelicans, as well as a win over the Memphis Grizzlies. It is worth noting that Kuminga and Podziemski were key contributors in these games won without Curry on the floor.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/4-biggest-factors-pistons-winning-record">The Pistons are currently 19-18 this season</a> and could pull two full games above .500 for the first time since the 2018-19 season with a win over Golden State on Thursday night. Cade Cunningham has been spectacular for Detroit this year and is well on his way to being a first-time All-Star by averaging 24.0 points, 9.3 assists, and 6.6 rebounds per game.</p><p>Golden State desperately needs a win to try and spring them in the right direction, which is why having Curry, Green, and Schroder on the court gives the Warriors a fighting chance to get back in the win column.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After having a strong start to the season, the Warriors have had a hard time staying consistent, and it’s obvious that they need more star power to win games.</p><p>Jeff Teague thinks that it’s <a href="https://youtu.be/_h7vdezdpkM?t=615" rel="noopener">time to make some changes</a>, and one of those changes includes Draymond Green.</p><p>“It’s time to just break the Warriors up, it ran it’s course,” Teague said on the Club 520 Podcast. “It started with Klay, once Klay left. Now it’s time to move on from Draymond. I love Dray but they got to load up, they’ve got to go young, they’re not about to win anything, it’s over with. Unless they are about to make some big trade and get another superstar or something. If they can’t do that, they might as well go young.</p><p>“Ask Steph does he want to be part of the rebuild, because you’re a legend. You can even ask Draymond, do y’all want to be a part of this rebuild, we’re going to go young. I’m sure Draymond is going to say I want to go compete and he can go wherever, the Lakers, or wherever, but right now it ain’t looking good.”</p><p>Green has mentioned that he probably has about two seasons left playing, and it’s possible he would want to retire with the Warriors. If they do want to focus on their future and do it now, there’s a chance that Green could be moved.</p><h2>What should the Warriors do for their future?</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Draymond-Green.jpg"><figcaption>John Hefti-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>It’s obvious that the Warriors are trying to do anything they can to be a championship contender, as they’ve been on a mission to land a third star since the offseason. Their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-steve-kerr-deadline-stance-jimmy-butler-nikola-vucevic-trade-rumors">most recent pursuit was Jimmy Butler</a>, and it’s still not certain if they want to acquire him. For now, the Warriors have been trying to work with what they have, and that includes watching the growth of Jonathan Kuminga.</p><p>If the Warriors continue to lose and don’t see any end road, they could look to go younger and focus on their future. It’ll be interesting to see if Stephen Curry and Draymond Green would be a part of those plans and if they would still want to play on a team that doesn’t look like they’re contenders. Curry and Green look like they’ll be on the Warriors until they’re done playing, and it would be weird seeing them in different jerseys.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/heat-news-erik-spoelstra-makes-promise-amid-unfortunate-pain-of-adversity">Heat are looking for a breakthrough without Butler</a> at the moment as he is serving a seven-game suspension, with questions raised if the team can find the right deal before a possible return date.</p><p>Green would have more of a harsh prediction with one being that Heat president Pat Riley sends Butler to a team that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IECJTfihujs&amp;t=3249s" rel="noopener">“he absolutely hates”</a> as ESPN reported on Jan. 2 that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/heat-news-jimmy-butler-officially-requests-trade">he wants to play anywhere but Miami</a>. The other option Green would mention is the team telling Butler to “go home” and wait for the offseason.</p><p>“I could see two things happening,” Green said. “I could see Pat Riley sending Jimmy Butler to an organization that he absolutely hates, that’s garbage, I could also see Pat Riley saying, hey go home for the rest of the year, just go home, we’ll pay you that’s fine, we’re not trading you anywhere, I could see that scenario as well but the scenario I don’t see, I don’t see it just playing out with Jimmy back in the good graces with them, and Jimmy just being who Jimmy is, I don’t see that, I think it’s too far past gone.”</p><h2><b>Heat expects Jimmy Butler to play in games if not traded</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Jimmy-Butler-on-Jan.-2-2025-2.jpg"><figcaption>Jim Rassol-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The second option that Green made could partly be true as the<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-jimmy-butler-still-expected-to-stay-with-heat-despite-harsh-suspension"> Heat could expect Butler to be back</a> if a desired trade is not found as even though the player requested one, the team won’t be forced to take one that isn’t beneficial to them. Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald would report that the team expects Butler to “rejoin” them and even <a href="https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/nba/miami-heat/article298036423.html" rel="noopener">“play in games”</a> if a trade can’t be made to their liking.</p><p>“While the Miami Heat continues to listen to trade offers for six-time NBA All-Star Jimmy Butler, his Heat tenure isn’t officially over yet. According to a source close to the situation, Butler will be expected to rejoin the Heat and play in games if he’s still on the roster at the end of his team-issued seven-game suspension,” Chiang wrote.</p><p>“As of now, the Heat is not interested in having Butler remain away from the team while paying him the remainder of his $48.8 million salary for this season after his suspension is over,” Chiang continued.</p><p>It could be looking that way as even ESPN’s Brian Windhorst has said on numerous occasions recently that the offers the Heat have been receiving <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1876662543869173901" rel="noopener">“stink”</a> and are prepared for Butler to be back. Still, Butler has served three games as the game he’s eligible to come back is on Jan. 17 against the Denver Nuggets at home.</p><p>“The Heat are preparing internally for this to last past suspension,” Windhorst said. “They know what offers they’ve got and they stink.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">“The Heat are preparing internally for this to last past suspension…They know what offers they’ve got and they stink.”</p><p>Brian Windhorst on Jimmy Butler’s stalemate with the Heat 🗣️</p><p>(via <a href="https://twitter.com/FirstTake?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FirstTake</a>)<a href="https://t.co/oII2rhy3ti">pic.twitter.com/oII2rhy3ti</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1876662543869173901?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 7, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/heat-news-erik-spoelstra-tyler-herro-believe-six-game-road-trip-could-benefit-miami-amid-jimmy-butler-drama">Heat are on a six-game road trip</a> coming off a huge win to Green and the Warriors as they are 18-17.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Curry ushered in this current era of basketball by spacing the floor to game-breaking heights, and he will be remembered long after the day he calls it quits. His longtime Golden State Warriors teammate <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-draymond-green-story-all-star-contact-stephen-curry-pure-gold">Draymond Green could not have put it better</a> when he shared the story of how an unnamed NBA All-Star was second-guessing himself when thinking of how to approach Curry with an earnest question.</p><p>Green then said that Curry has this “mythical superhero” reputation among even his peers, which is especially true considering how legendary he is and how much he’s achieved over the past decade or so. But the Warriors star, despite everything he’s accomplished, still has to <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/43313004/steph-curry-golden-state-warriors-career-nba-playoffs-hopes" rel="noopener">pinch himself sometimes</a> to remind himself that everything he’s managed to achieve for himself is real.</p><p>“The level of adulation is very uncomfortable, honestly, and surreal at the same time. I was never the dude who was, ‘I want to be the best player.’ Not that I didn’t want that, but to think you could be the best player in the world or have a skill set that is recognized as the best in the world, it never felt real,” Curry told Tim Keown of ESPN.</p><p>Curry was never the most athletic player nor the most well-regarded talent even after a successful stint at Davidson. There were hopes that he’d turn out to be an incredible player, but only a few could have imagined that he’ll be reaching the heights he has done.</p><p>“I’m 6-3 — average human measurements — and out on the court, I’m very approachable and coachable. When you mix that with the levels I’ve been able to reach, it’s very surreal. I don’t think I’ll be able to appreciate it until I’m done playing,” Curry added.</p><h2><b>Warriors star Stephen Curry is just like us for real</b></h2><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-stephen-curry-eventual-retirement">Stephen Curry may be the most gifted</a> three-point shooter planet Earth has ever seen, but like any other regular human being, the Warriors star is also going through his fair share of anxieties. But Curry has managed to break the mold (and the game), thanks to his incredible response to such inner turmoil.</p><p>“Oh, for sure I have anxiety.  lot of it is baked into the expectations I’ve set and the level I want to play at. It’s your own expectations and awareness of what a good game is. It’s a healthy insecurity of having to prove yourself every single night, which is cool.

When Green held onto Edey after the foul, Edey turned around and pushed Green away before players from both teams got in the middle of the two.</p><p>After the game, Green <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1875915334433333405" rel="noopener">said that the</a> only reason why the referees ruled the foul was worthy of a flagrant-one destination was because of his reputation.</p><p>“But it’s Draymond Green, that’s why it’s a flagrant foul,” Green said. “It’s funny.

This season, he has been assessed with a league-leading (with Dillon Brooks) eight technical fouls, each of which comes with a fine of $2,000 or $3,000. He picked up two, necessitating his ejection in a game earlier this season against Memphis, during which <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grizzlies-news-taylor-jenkins-zach-edey-delayed-justice-draymond-green-flagrant-foul-upgrade-nba">Green controversially clamped down on Edey’s ankle</a> after a turnover.</p><p>Of course, Green’s offenses have been more severe; he was suspended indefinitely last season by the NBA for striking Jusuf Nurkic in the head just weeks after earning a suspension for choking Rudy Gobert. He was also notably suspended one game in the 2016 Finals for hitting LeBron James, and he earned a similar suspension during the 2023 playoffs when he stomped on the abdomen of Domantas Sabonis.</p><p>Possibly the most well-known moment, though, may be when <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-draymond-green-admits-embarrassment-jordan-poole-incident">Green punched then-Warriors teammate Jordan Poole during practice</a>, which kept him out some preseason games before the 2022-23 season. The incident has been pointed to as one of the reasons why the Warriors failed to effectively defend their NBA title in 2023. Poole, who performed poorly following the incident, was also traded to the Washington Wizards after the season.</p><p>Despite his history of antics, which the NBA has said it took into consideration when levying an earlier suspension, Green is undoubtedly one of the best defenders of his generation. The vocal leader of the Warriors, he played a key role in helping Golden State capture four titles and make the Finals six times between 2015 and 2022.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
