After all the Western Conference reserves were announced, Green told the TNT crew that he "won't be able to play in the game" due to the injury that has kept him out of the Warriors' lineup for several weeks.
Draymond has not played a full game since Jan. 5, as he deals with a lower back/disc issue. The Warriors' latest official update on Feb. 1 says Green is "progressing" and will be re-evaluated prior to the All-Star break.
