Draymond Green was issued a technical foul during the second quarter of Thursday's clash against the Minnesota Timberwolves after he hit Naz Reid in the face with his arm while attempting to make a pass.

STEPHEN CURRY HAD just found Draymond Green open on the wing for a 3-pointer, giving the Golden State Warriors a 30-20 lead Tuesday night in the second quarter of Game 1 and forcing the Minnesota Timberwolves to call a timeout.

Draymond Green is expected to step it up in a big way for the Golden State Warriors amid Steph Curry's troubling hamstring injury. With the two-time NBA MVP expected to miss at least the next three games in their second-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, guys like Green will be forced to carry a heavier load.
