Warriors' Draymond Green gets bad injury update before Golden State plays Jazz image

The Golden State Warriors already knew they'd be without Al Horford and Jonathan Kuminga on Monday night against the Utah Jazz.

Turns out, they won't have Draymond Green, either.

Green was ruled out midway through Monday afternoon. 

Why isn't Draymond Green playing tonight?

Draymond Green is out with an injury he picked up in the Warriors' most recent game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

It's been officially termed a right foot sprain.

Green sustained the injury when he was going for a loose ball and had his right foot landed on by the Blazers' huge center, Donovan Clingan.

It's not yet clear how long Green will be out, although the fact that he was ruled out on gameday and not before suggests the injury isn't too serious.

With no Green or Horford, the center rotation will include Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis. Jimmy Butler will likely have to play big, while Moses Moody, Buddy Hield and Will Richard will get a heavy allotment of minutes on the wings. Gui Santos may also see time off the bench.
