Already playing without Steph Curry because of an injury, the Golden State Warriors are getting dangerously close to having to play without Draymond Green, too. The former NBA defensive MVP was assessed a dead-ball technical foul in the first half of Game 2 on Thursday after he somehow hit Timberwolves defender Naz Reid in the head with his elbow after Reid fouled Green.

It’s the second time in three games that Green has been given a tech in this exact situation — he similarly hit Rockets defender Fred VanVleet in Game 7.
