Things continue to go from bad to worse for the Golden State Warriors.

Just days after it was announced Stephen Curry will be sidelined for three months with a broken hand, Draymond Green revealed he's dealing with a ligament issue in his left hand that affected him during Friday's game, and he's unsure about missing time.

"I hurt my finger. A little ligament action," Green told reporters, including The Athletic's Anthony Slater. "It is what it is. It's pretty sore. I couldn't grip the ball the entire second quarter."

Green was subsequently ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Despite the injury, Green still played a team-high 34:26 on Friday, but he only recorded six points on 2-of-7 shooting during a loss to the San Antonio Spurs.

The Warriors, also playing without five-time All-Star Klay Thompson, are off to a 1-4 start.
