Golden State Warriors star forward Draymond Green was ruled out against the Toronto Raptors due to illness and a back injury.

This season, Green is averaging 8.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game, but with poor 41.7/36.2/61.5 shooting splits. Green continues to do so much for this Warriors squad but is certainly taking steps back from his prime.

Warriors star Draymond Green will not play in Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves -- the third straight game he's missed due to injury or illness.

MINNEAPOLIS — Draymond Green missed his third straight game on Wednesday after getting ruled out with an illness and a back injury, with the former being more significant than the latter.

Averaging 8.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, Green remains pivotal for the Warriors on both ends of the court. When the team has been at its best this year, his defensive versatility and edge has helped shape its identity.

Injuries are leaving the Golden State Warriors without Draymond Green, Kyle Anderson, Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski for Wednesday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center in Minneapolis.
