The Bay Area holds its breath as Steph Curry walked off injured against the Houston Rockets, but Draymond Green is backing two other players to ensure the team doesn’t skip a beat.
For as long as the Golden State Warriors have been contenders, their prospects have been tied to the health of Steph Curry.

With Jimmy Butler also out this season, Curry’s injury has the potential to derail the Warriors’ promising start to the season.
However, Draymond Green believes that the Warriors are better equipped than ever to handle Curry’s absence due to two players.
Draymond Green backs Warriors in Steph Curry’s absence
The Warriors were already exceeding expectations with their eight-game winning streak before the loss against the Rockets.
The most encouraging thing for them was that Curry’s brilliance was the flourish on the team, and he didn’t need to be faultless every night for them to scrape any wins.
That is what makes Green confident, since the Warriors are deeper than ever, and two surprise breakout stars personify that feeling.
Speaking after the loss to the Rockets, Green said: “The spirit of this team is better. We’re more certain of who we are, what makes us a good team. I think that puts us in a better position to be successful without him as opposed to where we were last year.
“Then obviously Yax [Yaxel Lendeborg], having a guy you can give the ball to and he can create an advantage. BP [Brandin Podziemski] is playing a lot better.”
Lendeborg set the pace for scoring against the Rockets as well, and he’s a player growing into his skin with each game with more confidence.
Podziemski is also starting to live up to the potential he showed in glimpses in last season, and a better overall roster is helping him in the process.
If the Warriors can stay in the playoff race while Curry is out, it would be a very good outcome for them, and in his absence, the youngsters have the opportunity to get even better.
