Draymond Green Sidelined Wednesday for Back Injury Management, Expected Saturday Return

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was officially ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies due to left lower back injury management. This decision came on the second night of a back-to-back set, following his 32 minutes played in Tuesday's loss to the Pelicans. Green, initially questionable, is anticipated to return to action on Saturday against the Lakers. In his absence, Al Horford, Quinten Post, and Gui Santos were expected to see increased roles and minutes.
