Draymond Green is missing yet another game as the Warriors face the Suns on Friday night. This will be his seventh straight game on the sidelines, thanks to a lingering left calf strain. The team keeps calling him day-to-day, but let’s be real—there’s still no real timeline for his return. And with Kevin Durant on the other side, not having Draymond’s defense is a big deal.
The Warriors, sitting at 11th in the West, are also missing Jonathan Kuminga (right ankle). On the bright side, Kevon Looney is playing, even though he’s dealing with a nasal bone injury. Gotta respect the toughness.
As for the Suns? They’re pretty much at full strength—just Jalen Bridges and TyTy Washington Jr. are out, but that’s because they’re on G League assignments.
With Draymond still out, the Warriors are rolling with a starting five of Steph Curry, Buddy Hield, Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton II, and Quinten Post. That’s the group tasked with slowing down KD and Devin Booker—easier said than done.
