Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:12:31 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors return home down two games to none and will be without Draymond Green due to a shocking one-game suspension for a pivotal Game 3 of their first-round series against the Sacramento Kings.That leaves an already-small Golden State team even shorter on big bodies and without their best defender for what could have been a turning point game for the defending champions. Now the Warriors’ coaching staff will have to get creative with their rotations to keep alive their dimming playoff hopes.Without Green, Kevon Looney will be key as he is the only other Warrior who has been able to defend big Domantas Sabonis and establish some consistency as a rebounder. Low-minute and players who have fallen out of the playoff rotation will need to step up in Green’s place; expect a lot more Jonathan Kuminga, Anthony Lamb, JaMychal Green and Moses Moody in the frontcourt Game 3.Replacements are ready, but may not be enough to erase the loss. Green has played...
