What began as a routine matchup for the Golden State Warriors and the Philadelphia 76ers changed tone when Draymond Green abruptly made his way to the locker room with 4:29 to go in the second quarter. For a player as hardened as the 35-year-old forward, any sign of discomfort stands out.

“Draymond Green limping on his right foot/ankle after grabbing at it,” Warriors insider Anthony Slater reported.

The sequence occurred during an ordinary possession, when Sixers forward Dominick Barlow, during an attempt at an offensive rebound, fell to the ground, landing on Green’s foot. The lack of clarity about his status has created uncertainty, and so far, Green’s potential return to the game is in question. For now, the severity remains undetermined.

Up to the moment he exited, Green had been contributing in typical fashion. Across nine minutes, he tallied three points, adding three rebounds and a block, anchoring the Warriors defense. Him going out of the game makes an already dire situation even worse for the injury-riddled Golden State squad.
