Stephen Curry is excited to finally welcome back Draymond Green to the Golden State Warriors lineup after a five-game suspension.
But he’s tempering the expectations.
“Draymond being back helps a lot not just because of what he does defensively but the way hecommunicates, but it won’t solve everything,” Curry told reporters after leading Golden State to a 118-112 win over San Antonio on Friday. “So, we have to address those especially going to Sacramento. We know how [potent] their offense is.”
Green is set for Tuesday’s return. The Warriors have lost three of the five games Green missed after his chokehold of Rudy Gobert.
But their woes started even before that incident. The Warriors have lost seven of their last nine games after a 6-2 start to the season.
“That nine-game stretch that we’re in right now has not been great,” Curry said. “So I know Draymond’s excited to be back. We’re excited to have him. We need him.”
But Green’s return will not magically cover up for the Warriors’ problems.
