Privileged with the tears of success, only misfortune after the victory during the Game 7 was Draymond Green's injury. Draymond who scored 10 points with 13 rebounds and 5 assists at the victory had sprained his ankle.
Draymond Green to ESPN on spraining his right ankle: “I told Chelsea (trainer) during the game I rolled my ankle badly and I don’t feel a thing right now. I know it was the adrenaline. After the game, wooooo. I’ll be good though.”

Despite the pain, Draymond neither showed any signs of pain nor left the game. After the game, he admitted he was in noticeable amounts of pain.

Draymond admitted that he is optimistic and will be good going forward. Besides his optimism, if he plays in Thursday's Game 1, he has high chances of hurting his ankle on a bad note. That's something Draymond and the Warriors might want to avoid.
