The hits just keep on coming for the Golden State Warriors. After losing star point guard Stephen Curry to a broken left hand, power forward Draymond Green suffered a sprained left index finger on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs.
Green, who added that it was a ligament issue, won't play on Saturday versus the Charlotte Hornets:

I couldn't grip the ball the whole entire [game], probably since the second quarter, which is why I was making a lot of one-handed, right-handed passes and dribbling left with my right hand. I couldn't really grip the ball, so we'll see. Hopefully it will calm down a little bit overnight, but who knows?
“It’s pretty sore. I couldn’t grip the ball the whole entire, probably since the second quarter. That’s why I was making a lot of one-handed, right-handed passes.”
Draymond Green will not play against the Hornets tonight. He sprained his left index finger vs Spurs. D’Angelo Russell is questionable because of a right ankle sprain. Skeleton crew.
