The Golden State Warriors will now have a trio of players representing the team for the 2022 NBA All-Star game in Cleveland.
On Thursday, the NBA announced the remaining reserves for the 2022 edition of the All-Star game. For the fourth time in his career, Draymond Green earned a nod to the All-Star game.
As a reserve, Green will give Golden State three All-Stars, with Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins being named starters.

During the 2021-22 season, Green has helped push the Warriors to one of the top defensive ratings in the NBA. On the offensive side of the floor, Green is averaging 7.9 points on 53.7% shooting from the field with 7.6 assists and 6.4 rebounds per contest.
Although he was named as one of the reserves, Green won’t play in Cleveland due to injury. Green has missed the Warriors’ last 13 games with a lower disc injury. The 31-year-old is expected to continue to miss time through the All-Star break.
With Green out, NBA commissioner Adam Silver will announce another player to replace him as an All-Star.
