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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Warriors veteran Draymond Green picked up his first technical foul of the 2024-25 campaign. After the win, Kerr had an interesting take on the call when asked about Green’s tech in the game. […]

Draymond Green has built a reputation for toeing the line between fiery and going over the top, both towards opposing players and towards officials. Last season, things boiled over on multiple occasions, as Green was suspended two times for a total of 17 games for altercations with Rudy Gobert and Jusuf Nurkic on the court. […]

So much for small-ball. Following a training camp and exhibition slate that left three starting spots open alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, the Golden State Warriors have elected to start big for Wednesday night’s season opener against the Portland Trail Blazers.
