MINNEAPOLIS – The Golden State Warriors were without defensive star Draymond Green for Wednesday night’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves – the third straight contest he has missed due to illness or injury.

Green appeared at Wednesday morning’s shootaround in Minnesota but did not participate.

“He woke up not feeling well at all,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “He came to shoot around looking like a ghost. He was hoping he’d feel better after a nap this afternoon, hydration. He hasn’t been feeling well.”

Green did not play against Indiana on Friday due to a setback. Stephen Curry also missed that game, which was the second of a back-to-back. He then missed Monday’s game against Toronto due to illness.

Gary Payton II, who missed the previous 10 games with a calf injury, returned for Wednesday’s game.
