With Steph Curry (shoulder) and Andrew Wiggins (adductor) already ruled out against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Golden State Warriors will be down another starter on Friday.
Joining Curry and Wiggins, Draymond Green is latest member of the Warriors to be ruled out for Friday’s contest against the Sixers. Green has been ruled out in Philadelphia due to a right quad contusion injury.

Green was ejected in the fourth quarter after picking up a pair of technicals in the Warriors’ recent loss to the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. Green finished with one point, three rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes against the Pacers.
With three starters out against James Harden, Joel Embiid and the Sixers, the Warriors will likely lean heavily on Jordan Poole, Kevon Looney, Donte DiVincenzo and Jonathan Kuminga. Players like Moses Moody and JaMychal Green could also see an increased role on Friday night.
Rookies Patrick Baldwin Jr. and Ryan Rollins have been recalled from the G League along with former No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman. With Golden State’s shorthanded rotation, the trio of prospects could make appearances against the Sixers on Friday night.
The Warriors are set to tip off against the Sixers at 4:30 p.m. PT on Friday in Philadelphia.
