Injury Updates: Draymond Green and Devin Booker Impact Teams
Full Transcript
In a challenging night for the Golden State Warriors, Draymond Green exited the game against the Philadelphia 76ers with a right foot injury, which he described as feeling similar to a previous sprain.
Postgame, he was seen in a walking boot, raising concerns as the Warriors have struggled, losing six out of their last eight games and falling below .500 for the first time this season. Coach Steve Kerr expressed disappointment, calling the loss a 'gut punch.' Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns face their own challenges as star guard Devin Booker suffered a right groin strain during a game against the Los Angeles Lakers and will be out for at least a week, missing crucial matchups against the Houston Rockets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Oklahoma City Thunder.
Suns coach Jordan Ott noted that the injury occurred when Booker collided with Jaxson Hayes, and Booker's absence could impact their current seventh-place standing in the Western Conference as he leads the team in scoring and assists.
Both players' injuries are significant as their teams navigate through a competitive season and seek to regain form amid mounting challenges.
