More than two months and specifically 30 games Draymond Green has been lost until he has been able to return. The deadlines that he advanced a week ago were met and his return occurred in the meeting of his Warriors against the Wizards at the Chase Center in San Francisco. And with a big party. Curry, on his birthday, pays tribute to his partner back with 47 wonderful points that helped, to a great extent, to defeat the rival. The score with which hostilities concluded tonight was 126-112.
Green has been dealing with a herniated disc in his spine for these two months and his return has taken place in optimal conditions, although he will still be temporarily coming off the bench and with a restriction on playing minutes (today, 20). The power forward contributed with 6+7+6 to the collective statistics in its typical fashion for not only worrying about the points but about other facets of the game. He stepped onto the court in the first quarter and assisted Curry for a 3-pointer from Curry as soon as he entered, declaring after the game that “for me it was great because I find the rhythm thanks to the passes”.
The Warriors, who now have two forwards like Wiggins and Iguodala out, get back one of their great assets. Klay Thompson, another member of the staff registered in the infirmary until very recently, contributed 20 points, the same as Jordan Poole. Considering they were fighting for the lead in the Western Conference in the early part of the season, having him back on court was an absolute priority knowing that the win-loss record without his presence was 17-13.
