Warriors forward Draymond Green missed his second consecutive game on Sunday due to a right knee contusion, according to Kendra Andrews of ESPN. Green suffered the injury on Thursday when he bumped knees with the Lakers’ Jarred Vanderbilt. Green’s knee unexpectedly flared up Sunday afternoon, something coach Steve Kerr categorized as a “setback.” He may undergo an MRI.
We have more injury-related news:
- Pelicans forward Larry Nance Jr. will miss Monday’s game against Orlando due to a left ankle sprain, the team’s PR department tweets.
- Raptors guard Fred VanVleet missed both of the team’s games this weekend for personal reasons, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet tweets. VanVleet is away from the club due to the birth of his third child.
- Sixers head coach Doc Rivers said before Saturday’s contest that backup center Dewayne Dedmon is expected to miss a couple more games but doesn’t have a long-term injury, Kyle Neubeck of ThePhillyVoice.com tweets. Dedmon has yet to make his Philadelphia debut due to a hip issue.
- Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon returned to the lineup on Sunday night after missing the previous five games due to a left rib contusion, Mike Singer of the Denver Post writes.
Fred’s personal reason was he had a kid.
I would have demanded a trade at the deadline. No way I’m having a Canadian kid.
Well you should have told him that in 2019 too
You know his wife or baby momma can live in whatever country they desire. The man’s making 8 figures yearly
I’ve spoken to the rest of the Canadian elders in our group chat (because we all know every other Canadian) and we decided we would rather you don’t procreate in Canada either, would be quite the drain on our Healthcare
Why the hate for Canada? Last time he had one here we won a chip so I’m sure he’s fine with it lol.
See, word got out to Cito already.
Best go to Mexico Mr Price. It’s too cold up north anyway
Him and his kids looked pretty cozy in that pic they showed today haha.
The things players do to get out of games! Sheesh
Really hope this is sarcastic, reminds me of the time every MLB fan was getting pissed at Daniel Hudson for missing playoff games because his wife was in labor.
And yet no one seems to care about how Larry Nance is doing.
We see you Larry. Get well soon.
I wish the Dubs had traded for Aaron Gordon last year. He’s the perfect fit for them. He could even be a reasonable Draymond replacement. I’d prefer Ben Simmons’ skillset but as far as on court mentality, I don’t think there are two players in the NBA more opposite than Simmons and Draymond. Hopefully Kuminga turns into an Aaron Gordon type
