Draymond Green will not participate in tonight’s game against the Miami Heat due to a right ankle sprain. This game marks the first of a back-to-back home schedule for the Golden State Warriors.
Warriors Face Shortages
Green’s absence adds to the Warriors’ challenges as they will also miss De’Anthony Melton. Melton is out for injury management and has not yet been cleared to play back-to-back games. However, he is expected to return to action tomorrow against the Toronto Raptors.
Al Horford’s Status
Al Horford is available for tonight’s matchup against the Heat. Similar to Melton, he has not been cleared to feature in back-to-back contests and will likely sit out the following night’s game.
