Draymond Green’s calf injury gets an uncertain schedule
The The Golden State Warriors have been hit hard by the injury bug in recent weeks. Among the main concerns for the Warriors is the recent calf injury he suffered Draymond Green. Green is currently out with an injury, and the team on Monday posted an update on a potential injury schedule.
The Warriors announced that Draymond Green underwent an MRI on his calf injury and a mild calf strain was confirmed. He will be re-evaluated in a week.
So the Warriors will be without Green for at least a week before they get any other news about his potential return to the court. Green first suffered the injury against the Washington Wizards on Saturday. He ended up leaving the game early and did not return.
Green isn’t the only injury the Warriors have dealt with. Jonathan Kuminga has been out since the beginning of the month with an ankle injury. Kyle Anderson and Brandin Podziemski, two important rotation players for the Warriors, are also out with injury.
