Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green joins Steph Curry, Andrew Wiggins as team’s All-Stars
Draymond Green was announced as an All-Star reserve on Thursday.
Green makes his fourth All-Star game, his first since the 2018-19 season, selected as a reserve in a vote by all 30 NBA coaches. The 31-year-old won’t participate in All-Star weekend in Cleveland due to a back injury that’s sidelined him since Jan. 9, he announced on TNT. Green joins Devin Booker, Luka Doncic, Rudy Gobert, Donovan Mitchell, Chris Paul and Karl-Anthony Towns as All-Star reserves in the West.
His teammates, guard Steph Curry and forward Andrew Wiggins, were voted in as All-Star starters. Curry will make his eighth All-Star appearance and Wiggins his first. Green has been out since Jan. 9 rehabbing from a lower back injury classified as left disc recovery. He’s seen a specialist about his back and is making “positive” steps in his recovery, head coach Steve Kerr said, as he gradually incorporates on-court work back into his routine.
