While the season will begin in a few days, the Warriors have just learned some very bad news. Looks like Stephen Curry will have a lot of work to do.
The preseason is over. Some people want to say “finally”, because the real campaign will be able to begin. We expect heavy for the opening, including a confrontation between the Warriors and the Nets. Kevin Durant who finds his old team? Yes, the NBA was not there to joke when it came to making its schedule.
Unfortunately, this shock will be less interesting than expected. First of all because of the absence of Klay Thompson, forfeit for the coming season. The full-back won’t be there and needless to say how much that penalizes his team. And yet, it is not over.
Indeed, another important player was injured recently: Draymond Green. The latter is the victim of a muscle strain in his right foot and he is very uncertain for the meeting. It is not yet confirmed, since the medical staff will take him some tests, but he could miss this first game of the season, or even more.
In front of the media, this is what Steve Kerr was able to explain:
Draymond hasn’t trained, and he’s uncertain for Tuesday. During Saturday practice, he twisted his right foot. We didn’t know the gravity recently, and it was a bit painful when he woke up. His MRI came back without a hitch, but we’re just trying to be careful with him.
It’s not a long-term injury. Even if he’s not here for Tuesday, or even Christmas Day, he’ll be back very soon.
As expected, especially with major players, there is no question of taking the slightest risk. The Warriors are cautious and don’t want to risk making Draymond’s injury worse. See you in a few days for more information about this injury.
Draymond Green missing for upcoming Warriors shocks? A big blow. Steph Curry is going to have to be ready, and not just a little.
