The Golden State Warriors bet their 2025-26 season on the trio of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler, all of them 35 years or older. It might not be a surprise they’re now encountering injury issues.
With Curry and Butler already out Thursday, the Warriors saw Green exit their game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday with a foot injury, limping to the locker room in the second quarter. He was later ruled out for the rest of the game.

Green finished with 3 points on 1-of-3 shooting and 3 rebounds in 9 minutes.
The severity of Green’s injury is unknown. It’s quite possible the decision to rule him out was entirely precautionary with the team down 22 points at halftime, but it still underscores Golden State’s current struggles to stay healthy.
Curry missed his third straight game Thursday with a quad injury and is guaranteed to miss at least two more. Butler exited Wednesday’s game with a knee injury and was questionable for Thursday before being ruled out.
Ideally, all three will be playing again by this time next week, but the team’s record was 11-11 entering Thursday, which is currently play-in tournament territory.
