Life without Klay Thompson has started well for the Golden State Warriors, as they’re 8-2 heading into their NBA Cup matchup with the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night. The contest will mark Thompson’s first game in Golden State since departing to the Mavericks in free agency this past offseason, and Draymond Green is excited. Green […]

The Golden State Warriors have looked like a different team to open up the 2024-25 NBA season, with Draymond Green turning back the clock and Stephen Curry continuing to play at an elite level since returning from an ankle injury. The Warriors currently sit at 8-2 heading into Tuesday evening’s home matchup vs the Dallas […]

With Draymond Green’s 11 assists during the Golden State Warriors 127-116 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, he joined elite statistical company. No, it has nothing to do with technical fouls, although he’s up to two on the season. Green moved into third place in NBA history in games with 10+ assists as a non-guard, […]

Who says Stephen Curry needs a legitimate co-star? Nearly three weeks into the regular season, the rebuilt Golden State Warriors find themselves tied atop the typically crowded Western Conference standings at 8-2. The Dubs’ statistical profile is even more impressive. Not only is their +11.6 net rating third in the NBA, but they’re also the […]

Klay Thompson will be returning to play his former team this week, and he’ll see some familiar faces opposite of him.

The Golden State Warriors defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder to claim sole possession of first place in the Western Conference at 8-2. Moreover, Thunder big man Chet Holmgren left the game due to a hip injury; an update after the game reported that Holmgren is out indefinitely with a pelvic fracture. On the other hand, […]

Some of the most impactful basketball of Jonathan Kuminga’s career has come since he was moved to the bench. Buddy Hield is an early Sixth Man of the Year contender. The second unit needs Brandin Podziemski’s table-setting, and Moses Moody has proven he’s always ready irrespective of his planned nightly role in the rotation. Extremes […]

Most blowout wins don’t mean much in November. However, in their 136-117 beatdown, the undefeated Cleveland Cavaliers seemed to have something to say against the Golden State Warriors. From wire to wire, the Cavs broke, tied, or made franchise history by dominating the Warriors on offense. Cleveland opened the game on a 20-2 run, limiting […]

Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors made a statement by beating the champion Boston Celtics 118-112 on Wednesday.

The Warriors improved to 7-1 and are in a three-way tie with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Phoenix Suns […]

Draymond Green is dealing with a right knee contusion ahead of their matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Golden State Warriors have a chance to take down the only undefeated team left in the league, but will Green be available to help?

After handing the Boston Celtics their first home loss of the regular season, the Golden State Warriors are on pace to knock off another in the Cleveland Cavs. Stephen Curry and the Warriors beat the champion Celtics 118-112 at TD Garden. Still, they could be without three of head coach Steve Kerr’s rotation players, including Draymond […]

After starting the year 8-0 despite dealing with injuries, the Cleveland Cavaliers remain the hottest team in basketball. Continuing through their tough week, the undefeated Cavs are on the road to face an opponent they’ll only see twice this year: Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. This will be the first of two matchups […]

The Golden State Warriors and Washington Wizards matched up with each other earlier in the week, and there was a little back and forth that happened between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole. Of course, whenever Green was going to get the chance to talk about it, he was going to take the opportunity, and that’s […]

Jonathan Kuminga for Sixth Man of the Year? He’s certainly proven worthy of winning that individual hardware since moving to the bench over the last four games. Now seemingly entrenched in a role he’s never wanted but has paid major dividends for both player and team in the season’s early going, expect the Golden State […]

NBA players are inspirational figures, making them personalities that anyone can look up to. Given their inspirational stories about their journeys, it isn’t surprising that Hollywood is cashing in by putting their stories on the big screens. But while casting actors to portray these NBA players can be on point, this isn’t always the case. […]

On Monday evening, the Golden State Warriors picked up a road win vs the Washington Wizards in a game that saw the reunion of good friends Draymond Green and Jordan Poole. The game also saw the return of Stephen Curry to the lineup after missing about a week with an ankle injury, and the Warriors […]

Former teammates Jordan Poole and Draymond Green have no love lost for each other. In a game between the Washington Wizards and Golden State Warriors on Nov. 4, Poole was seen preventing Green from interacting with any of his current teammates. During a dead ball, Poole separated Green from Wizards rookie Bub Carrington while the […]

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green has apparently created a new drama involving himself and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Green recently shared his opinion about the Thunder’s tradition after wins where they surround a teammate being interviewed before breaking into loud barks. It’s a harmless gimmick by the young Thunder, but Green doesn’t see the […]

Oh how different things would be if Draymond Green simply kept his hands to himself in one fateful practice session back in 2022. Instead, Green decided to punch Jordan Poole, creating an awkward locker room setup which eventually led to Poole’s departure from the Golden State Warriors in 2023. Poole’s career seemed to be derailed […]

The Golden State Warriors entered Saturday’s action leading the NBA by averaging a whopping 61 bench points per game. Though they fell one point shy of that mind-blowing number while beating the Washington Wizards 125-112, don’t be surprised if the Dubs’ reserves are even more productive going forward given Jonathan Kuminga’s new role. Despite Stephen […]

The Golden State Warriors host the Washington Wizards at Chase Center, hoping to improve their record to 6-1 while the Wizards look to reach .500 and stay afloat in the Eastern conference.

Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Alex Ducas disagrees with Draymond Green, and he isn’t the only one, as the Thunder’s longest-tenured player, Lu Dort, responded to Green’s take on his team’s celebratory postgame interviews. On Monday afternoon, the starting guard addressed Draymond ahead of Oklahoma City’s matchup against the Orlando Magic. Despite Green’s view that Thunder […]

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green doesn’t like the Oklahoma City Thunder’s postgame tradition. After every Oklahoma City win, teammates will surround their walk-off interviewee. Green deems the Thunder tradition immature, which caught the attention of undrafted two-way forward Alex Ducas, who addressed Green at G League’s Media Day on Monday. The Thunder’s G League […]

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green often says what’s on his mind. It’s who the 13-year veteran is, albeit in a message to Jonathan Kuminga during a postgame interview or on his Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis platform. In his latest episode, Draymond discussed a recent back-to-back against All-Star Zion Williamson and the New Orleans […]

Still lost amid widespread handwringing on Jonathan Kuminga’s shift to the bench is the specific context that prompted it. The Golden State Warriors’ new-look starters weren’t setting the league ablaze before Steph Curry twice tweaked his left ankle during his 5-1 team’s lone loss of the regular season’s early going, but that big, athletic, defense-first […]

Maybe it’s time we start putting a little more respect on Buddy Hield’s name. In fairness, if Hield continues playing like he has in his first handful of games as a member of the Golden State Warriors, it will be unavoidable because Stephen Curry’s “Splash Buddy” has already made a major splash with the Dubs. […]

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams received a lot of criticism for his hit on Jayson Tatum with Draymond Green being one of his loudest critics. The Golden State Warriors forward was upset with Williams’ handling of the incident after getting ejected from the game with a flagrant two foul. Williams said the hit on Tatum […]

The Golden State Warriors have been unfortunate on the injury front to begin the 2024-25 season. After winning their first two games in historic fashion, the Warriors saw Stephen Curry twist his ankle twice in the span of around 10 minutes, necessitating a multigame absence. But thus far, even with Curry out, the Warriors swept […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder have had a strong start to the 2024 season. Oklahoma City possesses a 4-0 record through the first part of the season. The Thunder are known for their postgame traditions of barking with reporters in unison and sometimes taking group pictures after wins, but Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green does […]

It’s been nearly 25 years since Eminem and Dr. Dre collaborated on the Grammy Award winning single Forgot About Dre. This track served as a defiant and momentous return for the 34-year-old Dre. On Wednesday night, Golden State Warriors 34-year-old forward Draymond Green stepped on the floor against Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans and […]

Who needs Andrew Wiggins and De’Anthony Melton, let alone Stephen Curry? The Golden State Warriors definitely do, obviously, to make good on the two-way promise they’ve shown through the first five games of the regular season. Yet for a second straight night against the similarly shorthanded New Orleans Pelicans, Golden State’s unique blend of depth […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder will face the San Antonio Spurs at the Paycom Center on Wednesday with an opportunity to improve to 4-0. After beating the Atlanta Hawks 128-104, the Thunder remain undefeated, which caught the eye of Golden State Warriors’ four-time champion Draymond Green. On a recent episode of The Draymond […]

The Golden State Warriors fell deep into a seemingly insurmountable hole. Playing without Stephen Curry as well as Andrew Wiggins and De’Anthony Melton, the Dubs’ exceptional depth was tested early in Tuesday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans, and every answer they came up with seemed like the wrong one. Golden State had no space […]

The Golden State Warriors looked like they had all the tools to be in the championship picture last season. However, the campaign ultimately showed that the days of the core of the Warriors dynasty were numbered. After the Warriors were dispatched by the Sacramento Kings in the play-in tournament, it marked the end of one […]

Lauri Markkanen might have been celebrating alongside Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors, who were cruising to a 41-point road win over the Utah Jazz at the Delta Center. This scenario could have been reality had Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. succeeded in trade discussions with Utah. In the offseason, Dunleavy sought to […]

Technical fouls and Flagrant fouls are given out to players who commit to a non-basketball play that can possibly put opposing players in danger. Given the competitive nature of the NBA, it’s only normal for basketball players to lose their cool once in a while. However, the NBA is a league that promotes sportsmanship and […]

Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green is an outspoken figure on and off the court. But he’s also a sentimental family man with his lovely wife, Hazel Renee, who was his biggest supporter as Green worked to be reinstated from his suspension in January 2024. Let’s get to know the strong woman behind the […]

Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid revealed earlier this week that he won’t play any back-to-backs this season to preserve his health and Draymond Green isn’t a fan of that decision. The Golden State Warriors veteran gave Embiid some advice as he looks to finally take Philly to the Promised Land: “Here’s what I would say […]
