Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has admitted that he thought the knee injury he suffered on Tuesday was much more serious than it turned out.
Green said that he feared a meniscus injury as the pain increased Tuesday night before he got an MRI.
“I honestly thought it was my meniscus,” Green said, via Mark Medina of Bay Area News Group, admitting that “it was a big relief” when MRI results turned out negative.
Green said he felt “a lot better” once he received treatment on the knee, and “even better” once it was drained.
The star forward has progressed so quickly that he is likely to play Friday after initially being doubtful. The Warriors and their fans will be breathing a huge sigh of relief that Green’s worst fears were not realized.
