Golden State forward Draymond Green will not play on Sunday, eliminating a highly anticipated matchup with Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns when the two Western Conference clubs meet.
The Warriors confirmed Green’s absence ahead of the game, meaning Towns will miss a chance to square off against a longtime on-court adversary. The pair’s physical battles and frequent verbal exchanges have become a storyline whenever the teams face each other.
Sunday’s contest still carries playoff-position implications, but it will now unfold without one of its most talked-about individual duels.
