This stat shows Draymond’s importance to Steph’s production originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
Draymond Green is immensely valuable to the success of the Golden State Warriors.
Having been without him for 30 games, the Warriors got a healthy Draymond back out on the court for their 126-112 win over the Washington Wizards on Monday night at Chase Center.
Not only did Green return to the floor for the Warriors, but it was also Steph Curry’s 34th birthday, and he celebrated by dropping a whopping 47 points on the Wizards with Draymond by his side once again.
Draymond only played 20 minutes off the bench, but his limited minutes were instrumental in Steph’s massive game.
Some variation of this eye-popping stat has been applied to Steph’s individual game and the Warriors’ success — or lack thereof — without Draymond over the past two-plus months.
This is the Warriors’ reality without their All-Star forward.
