Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has missed the better part of the last four games with a pelvic contusion, along with a stomach bug that kept him out for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers.
Yet one of his many injuries resides in his right elbow, which has been seen to swell abnormally so throughout the season, while he claims it doesn't bother him.
“It's pretty normal right now, my elbow is right there now,” said Green jokingly. “It ain't as big as it was, remember it was like this [big]?”
Asked if that'd be something he'd have to have drained, Green couldn't help himself but calm down any concerns.
“I don't know, I've never got it drained,” said Green. “I'm a soldier though, so it might drain itself.”

Besides the elbow, Green's latest absence was due to a stomach flu, which kept him out of the lineup during Tuesday's loss.
“My stomach was just in a real bad place. My body was weak, dehydrated. It wasn't good…I couldn't eat much. I didn't have much of an appetite anyway,” said Green according to Melissa Rohlin of the San Jose Mercury News.
Yet the All-Star looks forward to his return tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks alongside frontcourt mate Kevin Durant, warning that his extended absence might require some in-game adjustments.
“I don't know if I've got my lungs. I don't think I've played for maybe a week now.”
The Warriors have lost six of their last nine games and look to return to form in this last stretch of the season, hoping to hit their stride before going into the playoffs.
