The fate of the Western Conference Finals dramatically rests on the health of San Antonio Spurs star forward Kawhi Leonard, who was forced to leave with a left ankle injury at the 7:52 mark of the third quarter of Sunday's Game 1 of the series.
The Golden State Warriors took the advantage by the horns and followed it with a furious 16-0 run to cut the deficit to single digits, eventually catching up and notching a 113-111 win.
Leonard had first tripped upon his own bench, forcing him to take a short rest before being looked at by the medical staff. He was later undercut by Warriors center Zaza Pachulia, resulting in The Klaw's departure from the game.
“No, I don't have a response,” Green told Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News via ESPN's Chris Haynes after Monday morning practice.
He consequently made it obvious that he was trying to avoid commenting on the matter.
Green had previously received plenty of backlash for opining on Boston Celtics center Kelly Olynyk‘s screens when Washington Wizards forward Kelly Oubre was suspended after charging at him for what he deemed was a dirty play.
The Warriors forward had called Olynyk a dirty player, which brought plenty of outrage from all media after the many occasions in which he was deemed to be on the same waters last postseason.
