Draymond Green had to leave the Warriors’ game Saturday night against the Washington Wizards after suffering left calf tightness, and Golden State soon announced he wouldn’t return.

Green exited the game at Chase Center just three minutes into the first quarter. He limped to the bench and eventually went to the locker room. Green’s injury wasn’t apparently clear, but the four-time All-Star looked noticeably slower in the few possessions before the timeout.

Green dealt with calf injuries earlier this season as he was inactive for two games in early December with the same ailment. He missed the Warriors’ last three games with an illness.

HORNETS LOSE MILLER >> Charlotte Hornets guard Brandon Miller, the team’s second-leading scorer, will be sidelined indefinitely because of a torn ligament in his right wrist.

Miller, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft, was held out of Charlotte’s 125-123 victory over Chicago on Friday night with what the team initially called a “wrist sprain.” The Hornets announced after the game that Miller, who’s averaging 21 points, has a torn wrist ligament.

Miller underwent an MRI on his wrist after being injured in the Hornets’ win at Utah on Wednesday night. The team said additional updates on his status would be provided when needed.

The 22-year-old Miller, who played one season at Alabama before turning pro, is averaging 4.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 34.2 minutes in 27 games this season. He finished third in Rookie of the Year voting last season, when he averaged 17.3 points.
