Back-to-backs are hard enough in the NBA without having to guard Zion Williamson.

Having to do so two nights in a row is going to enact a toll on the body. Just ask Draymond Green.

"It hurts," the Golden State Warriors forward said Wednesday when asked about guarding the New Orleans Pelicans star on back-to-back nights, per ESPN's Kendra Andrews. "He's gotten so much better over the last, what, first four years of his career."

The Warriors and Pelicans faced each other on Tuesday and Wednesday during a quirky stretch of their schedules.
