Warriors star Draymond Green continues to be a lightning rod for attention in what has been a ragged playoff run for Golden State to this point, with a key inflection point coming on Thursday in Minnesota. There, the Warriors were soundly beaten, 117-93, by the Wolves with Stephen Curry (hamstring) out of the lineup.

The Warriors simply can't afford to lose him given his value on both ends, but his absence would be even more noticeable now with Stephen Curry out with a strained left hamstring. He told reporters on Thursday that there is no target date for a return.

The Golden State Warriors head coach explained his decision to limit Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler's playing time.
