This past weekend brought some good news for the Golden State Warriors with the announcement that Andre Iguodala and Stephen Curry will both be making their comebacks from injury. Curry had missed the previous 11 games due to a leg injury, and Iguodala had missed the last 13 games due to a hip issue. The Warriors, who appeared to be recovering from their injuries, received some bad news on Sunday during their loss to the Lakers when Draymond Green was forced to leave the game. Due to a hand injury, Draymond Green briefly exited the game. Later, Green returned to the game, but afterward, he told Kendra Andrews of how it’s just something he has to push through.
Draymond Green said his left hand is “sore” after re-aggravating it from a few games ago.
“It is what it is. Nobody’s that healthy at this point in the season. Just keep pushing.”

Draymond Green has a point in that at this point in the season nobody is 100 percent healthy. But it should be a bit of concern for the Warriors regarding Green’s potential impact down the stretch of the regular season if he’s slowed by an injury.
This season Green has been averaging 8.2 points per game, 7.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists with shooting splits of 52.4 percent from the field, 32.7 percent from the three-point line and 69.8 percent from the free-throw line. At 32-years-old, Green continues to be one of the most important Warriors especially on the defensive end of the court. Against the Lakers he finished with 15 points, eight rebounds and three assists while shooting 7-11 from the field.
The Warriors are 34-31 and in fifth place in the Western Conference standings.
