He was throwing up, puking all over the place

On Monday, Draymond Green and Steph Curry rolled back the years as the Warriors secured a 126-121 victory over the Clippers at the Intuit Dome during the Play-In Tournament. According to Shams Charania, who reported on Thursday, Green was ‘sick & puking all over the place’ before the game commenced.

“Vintage Draymond Green, this was a defensive master class. Team sources told me Draymond Green was sick,” said Shams.

“He was throwing up, puking all over the place in pregame”. “Sideline, in the back area by the locker room. And you could tell that as the game was starting, his energy looked a little low. But that fourth quarter, especially in those final six to eight minutes of the game, that was vintage Draymond Green.” Shams said.

In 35 minutes of play, Draymond contributed 7 points, 9 assists, 6 rebounds, and 4 steals. His standout moment came in the final minutes of the fourth quarter when he successfully defended Kawhi Leonard during a critical play, leaving a lasting impression on Warriors fans.

Marcus Thompson later disclosed that Green’s illness necessitated a precautionary chest X-ray and he required a nebulizer for breathing support before the game started.

LeBron James Praises Draymond Green After Impressive Performance

LeBron James, a close friend of Draymond, did not hesitate to express his admiration for the Warriors star following his remarkable performance in LA.

James posted on Instagram, commending Green with an enthusiastic caption. The video shared captures the moment Green hyperextended his leg yet continued to make crucial plays for the Warriors.

“The Biggest” “Absolute Dawg”, LeBron Said

Draymond has openly expressed interest in playing alongside LeBron James, and with the 2026 free agency approaching, the Lakers star is considered a potential candidate to join the Warriors.

Although LeBron and Green have never played on the same team, they have expressed a desire to team up before James retires. Both are four-time NBA Champions, but Green holds a 13-15 record against James.

The Warriors are set to face the Phoenix Suns on Friday, vying for the eighth seed. This season, Golden State has a 3-1 record against the Suns, led by Devin Booker. The winner of the play-in game will advance to face the OKC Thunder in the first round of the Playoffs, with the Thunder finishing the season as the top seed in the Western Conference.
