Green stayed home for Golden State’s trip to Portland, signaling his return to the court is still far off with 23 games to play.
PORTLAND — When the Warriors arrived here to embark on the stretch run of the regular season, there was one player not on the team charter: Draymond Green, whose absence from a disc injury in his lower back reached 22 games Thursday night.
As Green’s absence extends, the Warriors are left with a couple of quandaries: their standing in the Western Conference — a 1½ game lead on Memphis for the No. 2 seed entering Thursday — only gets shakier the longer Green is out, and preparing for the playoffs without the lineups they hope to log critical minutes together isn’t an easy task, either.It’s pretty simple: Green is a crucial cog and the Warriors aren’t the same without him.
The night Thompson returned from his two-year injury absence, Green played a ceremonial seven seconds, checked out of the game and hasn’t returned since. There’s lots of history between Green, Curry and Thompson, but that trio hasn’t shared the court since the 2019 Finals. Wiggins, the newcomer, has played 99 games with Green and 16 with Thompson, but none with the both of them.
