The Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors have had a rivalry brewing since their meeting in the first round of the 2023 NBA playoffs, but the series has been unexpectedly lopsided recently. The Kings have beaten the Warriors in four consecutive meetings, the last two being by an average margin of 27 points.

Draymond Green is the emotional leader of the Golden State Warriors roster. The veteran forward is relied upon to set a tone, both on the court and in the locker room. His experience as a four-time NBA champion and former Defensive Player of the Year is invaluable; especially now the Warriors are edging toward a younger cohort of players.

As the Golden State Warriors’ season slowly deteriorates, including a horrific 40-point home loss to the Boston Celtics on Monday, two NBA insiders are suggesting the Warriors strongly consider trading one of their two remaining links to four championships in Draymond Green.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green will miss at least a week with a strained left calf. The Warriors said Monday that an MRI determined that Green has only a minor strain and he will be re-evaluated in one week.

With players like Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski already sidelined due to injury, another member of the Golden State Warriors has been added to the injury report. On Saturday, Draymond Green exited the game in the first quarter against the Washington Wizards with an apparent injury.
