Chris Dempsey @chrisadempseyGolden State’s Draymond Green comes over to the stands at the Chase Center and sits with his family after the 2nd timeout of the first quarter vs. the #Nuggets. Aww. Green’s been out due to a back injury. pic.twitter.com/YZyRIuaJhp – 10:33 PM

Melissa Rohlin @melissarohlinThe Warriors say Draymond Green, who has missed the last 20 games because of a lower back injury, is doing light on-court activity and is expected to return “at some point after the All-Star break.” – 8:12 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontempsThe Warriors say Draymond Green is “anticipated” to return “at some point after the All-Star Break” from the disc issue that’s kept him out for more than a month. pic.twitter.com/Dsoh5atVPb – 8:04 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslaterWhat, besides Draymond Green’s absence, has been wrong with the Warriors’ defense lately? theathletic.com/3130283/2022/0… – 3:14 AM
Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHMBoy, Steve Kerr wasn’t joking around when he said pregame that the Warriors’ defensive shell is leaking everywhere and allowing too many backdoors and rebounds without Draymond. – 12:39 AM
Carl Steward @stewardsfollyTired of watching the Warriors without Draymond Green. – 12:19 AM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNURobert Covington’s corner 3 from Jackson gives LA a 42-41 lead, and Steve Kerr uses a timeout with 9:27 left in first half. This game is a lot better than the Draymond Green-Paul George turnover fest from November.
LA has outscored Warriors by 6 when Curry has been on floor. – 11:13 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribeWiggins needs the break. His defense hasn’t been as good of late. Not having Draymond is a factor, too – 11:02 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKoselPelicans biggest win of season, a 120-90 rout of Raptors. They led wire-to-wire & did number of things well.
CJ McCollum led team w/ 23 points, Jonas Valanciunas goes for 18 & 9, and Brandon Ingram filled up the box score like Draymond (?!): 10 PTS, 11 REB, 8 AST, 1 STL, 2 BLK. – 10:18 PM

Chris Haynes: Draymond Green says he will not be able to play in the All-Star Game, which means commissioner Adam Silver will pick an injury replacement. -via Twitter @ChrisBHaynes / February 3, 2022 The Warriors said Green is making positive steps in his recovery from a “left L5-S1” disc injury and that he will be reevaluated before the All-Star break. “I talked to Draymond today, and he told me he’s been out on the court now the last couple of days and is feeling really good,” Kerr said. “He’s making good improvement. … But he’s not going to be ready to play in the next few days or anything like that. He’s going to continue with his rehab and we will re-evaluate with him just before the All-Star break. “We’ll go from there. But so far so good. We are just being very cautious and very patient, understanding that it’s a delicate injury and you can’t rush this one. It’s really impossible to predict when he is going to play. But all of the reports, including from him, have been very positive.” -via ESPN / February 2, 2022 Connor Letourneau: Kerr said Warriors would re-evaluate Draymond in two weeks. That means he’ll miss at least 7 more games. -via Twitter @Con_Chron / February 1, 2022
