The Golden State Warriors have dealt with multiple injury issues this season with key players on the roster.
The Warriors’ biggest concern right now is Stephen Curry’s ankle injury, which he picked up against the Chicago Bulls.
With Curry already ruled out for an indefinite time, the Warriors are seemingly dealing with yet another concern.
Draymond Green, who is the anchor of the team’s defense, is apparently dealing with a back injury.
Green made the revelation on a recent episode of his podcast.
“My back has been bothering me for four or five games,” Greens said.
The Warriors forward revealed that he has been struggling with back issues over the last few games.
However, rather than missing games, the former NBA Defensive Player of the Year is playing through the pain.
Green also mentioned that he is getting treatment, but the effect doesn’t last long.
The 34-year-old star is usually fine in the first half of any given game, but the effect wears off in the second half.
Despite Green trying his best to be available for the team, the Warriors haven’t really made any progress in their pursuit to clinch a top-six seed in the Western Conference.
As of now, the Warriors are the 10th seed in the conference and have a 34-31 record.
With Curry out of the lineup and Green struggling with a back injury, it’s hard to see the Warriors make a stunning run in the final stretch of the season.
