Following the ugly physical act on the court, the league indefinitely suspended Draymond Green. Moreover, a recent report suggested that he could miss more than three weeks in the league. The Golden State Warriors, which has an underwhelming record two months into the season, 4x champs’ extended suspension could further sink the team in the deep waters. However, head coach Steve Kerr recently opened up about the team, adapting to the change.

With Green out the season for at least three weeks, Steve Kerr turned his attention toward some of the youngsters in the league. Notably, Jonathan Kuminga replaced DrayMagic in the starting lineup. Meanwhile, Trayce Jackson-Davis took care of the business off the bench in the last game against the Portland Trail Blazers. As the Warriors already adapt themselves to the change, let’s find out more from Kerr.

Steve Kerr opens up about adapting to Draymond Green’s absence

Ahead of the Tuesday night game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr addressed the press conference and dropped some of his hot takes. One of the reporters asked him about Stephen Curry and the team’s adaptation to play on the court without Draymond Green. Kerr took his time to give out a detailed statement on the Warriors’ games without DrayMagic. 

He began talking about the camaraderie between Stephen Curry and Green, along with the ‘organic shots’ that the duo often produced on the court. Kerr also added, “It’s impossible to replace that. I think Steph definitely misses him. We all do.” He then went on to speak about how the players have to get used to playing without the power forward.

He added, “We just have to get used to playing without Draymond and experiment… Try to find the thing that are more successful.” Here is the video of the press conference.

In the absence of Green, the Warriors have already attained a rare 2-game winning streak in this season. The question is how far will the team go in his absence.
