The Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings were missing a lot of stars on Wednesday night.
Zach LaVine and Domantas Sabonis were both out for the Kings.
Stephen Curry and Draymond Green both sat for the Warriors.
It was a conceptually big Western Conference matchup, but a lot of the key faces could only watch.
For Draymond, it was a late decision.

Draymond Green's absence tonight
The Warriors listed Draymond as questionable for most of the day due to a right rib contusion.
But before tip, he was ruled out.
The Warriors had already named Curry as out earlier in the day due to illness.
Green's questionable status persisted longer.
He played on Tuesday night in the first game of a back-to-back, but sat the second.
It's a chance for Green to rest up, and he often sits when Curry sits, kind of a package deal.
It seems likely that Green will be back on the court soon given how long his questionable status persisted on Wednesday before he was finally ruled out.
