On his podcast, The Draymond Green Show, Golden State Warriors big man Draymond Green said his back has been bothering him recently. The issue caused him to miss the Warriors loss at the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday.

"My back has been bothering me for like four or five games. And I've been just kind of like going through it, playing through it," Green said. "The hope is that… those extra couple days will allow it to go away, because it’s just no fun. And it’s also has been kind of in that same area that I had the issue before."

Green missed extensive time in 2022 with back problems. After missing over two months, Green returned for the stretch run and helped the Warriors to the 2022 NBA championship.
