Even as he nursed persistent pain in a toe in his right foot earlier in the regular season, Draymond Green initially insisted he felt fine to play. One of the main reasons: Green wanted to defend Milwaukee forward Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Nearly six months after missing a pair of regular-season games against the Bucks, Green might receive his wish. The Warriors could face the Bucks in the NBA Finals on May 30. With the Bucks and Toronto Raptors facing a 2-2 tie in the Eastern Conference Finals, Green might have to wait again. Unlike how he felt during the regular season, though, Green has bigger ambitions than defending Antetokounmpo.
