Warriors fulfill Draymond Green’s request with big roster move before road back-to-back
The Golden State Warriors don’t play another in-season tournament until the Minnesota Timberwolves visit the Bay on November 14th. Rest assured, Draymond Green’s post-game comments about missing his young teammates during Friday’s thrilling last-second win over the Oklahoma City Thunder at least played a small part in Trayce Jackson-Davis getting recalled from the G League.
The Warriors announced on Saturday that Jackson-Davis is back with the team just less than a day after he and fellow rookie Brandin Podziemski were assigned for a stint with the Santa Cruz Warriors. The move comes as Golden State faces a tough road back-to-back against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons that tips off Sunday night in Northeast Ohio.
Both the Cavaliers and Pistons deploy traditional two-big lineups. Cleveland’s frontcourt tandem of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen is the league’s longest, and there may not be an interior duo stronger than Detroit’s Isiah Stewart and Jalen Duren.
