The following players are ranked ahead of Draymond Green in the all-time playoff assists list: Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Scottie Pippen, Steve Nash, Larry Bird, James Harden, Rajon Rondo, Tony Parker, Chris Paul, Jason Kidd, John Stockton, LeBron James and Magic Johnson.

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.

STEPHEN CURRY HAD just found Draymond Green open on the wing for a 3-pointer, giving the Golden State Warriors a 30-20 lead Tuesday night in the second quarter of Game 1 and forcing the Minnesota Timberwolves to call a timeout.
