For the first time in his career, Draymond Green will not be suiting up for the NBA Playoffs. Although he’s not inside the Orlando Bubble, the three-time All-Star has been chiming in on the action at Disney World.
Along with sharing his thoughts about the postseason on social media, Green served as an analyst on the NBA on TNT studio show during the seeding round of games.
On Saturday night, Green shared a salute to Portland’s veteran scorer. During game three of the Los Angeles Lakers playoff matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers, the Golden State forward had praise for Carmelo Anthony.

In 42 minutes, Anthony tallied his 2020 playoff scoring high with 20 points on 9-of-20 shooting from the field and 2-of-3 from beyond the arc. The Syracuse product added six boards and a pair of assists against the Lakers. Anthony also contributed four steals and a block on the defensive end of the floor.

However, Anthony’s solid performance in game three wasn’t enough to slow done Anthony Davis and LeBron James. The Lakers’ duo combined for 67 points, 23 rebounds and 16 assists in their 116-108 victory.
Former Golden State Warrior turned Laker Javale McGee tacked on four points and two boards in 14 minutes against the Blazers.
Down in the series 2-1, Anthony, CJ McCollum and the Bubble’s Most Valuable Player Damian Lillard will lace up against the Lakers for game four on Monday at 6 P.M. PST.
