Draymond Green's Injury Status for Warriors vs. Grizzlies Revealed
After suffering a tough loss to the New York Knicks, the Golden State Warriors are back in action on Wednesday night to face the Memphis Grizzlies. Golden State has released their injury report for this game, and Draymond Green is being listed as questionable with low back soreness.
This is a huge game for the Warriors, as is every game for them between now and the end of the regular season, because they are not only trying to move up in the Western Conference standings, but they now have to worry about the 11th place Houston Rockets.
Houston has won six-straight games, and now sits just 2.5 games back of the Warriors in the Western Conference standings. Should Houston catch Golden State, it would bump the Warriors outside of the play-in picture, and put them in danger of missing the postseason entirely.
The Warriors have missed several opportunities to move up the standings, but still sit just one game back of the Los Angeles Lakers for 9th. This seems like the highest possible seed Golden State can reach at this point, but it would certainly be an advantage to have that first play-in game at home.
This is what is at stake for the Warriors from here on out, and they will look to start with a win on Wednesday against Memphis.
