Draymond Green Set to Miss Birth of Child Due to Warriors' Eastern Conference Road Trip. The Golden State Warriors are facing a critical stretch, with star point guard Stephen Curry recovering from a quadriceps contusion suffered last week against the Houston Rockets. As Curry's expected return draws near, the team is struggling, falling to 11-11 following a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.
Veteran Draymond Green made headlines ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers by sharing a personal confession: he will likely miss the birth of his child due to the upcoming Eastern Conference road trip. Green expressed that it "sucks" and is "pretty explicit" if he can't be there for the special moment, but acknowledged that this is part of his job.
Green's wife Hazel has two children from previous relationships, and the couple has since had two children together. This upcoming birth will be their fifth addition to their family. Green often stresses the importance of spending time with his family, especially his kids, as it teaches him a lot about himself.
In June 2023, Green shared that "spending a lot of time with my kids" has taught him valuable lessons about himself, including being more patient and understanding. He understands that his role is to provide for his family, even if it means making sacrifices.
The Warriors' road trip begins in Philadelphia on Thursday, followed by games against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls. With Curry's return imminent, the team will be looking to bounce back from their recent losses.

for draymond green & his fam! being a dad is the best job ever & it sucks that he has to miss this special moment 
his kids r gonna miss him tho, poor babies 
but we know he's doin it all 4 them & for their future 
let's send some positive vibes to draymond & his wife hazel 
how can u be that calm about missin ur child's birth? i mean i get it he's got his job 2 do, but come on man that's some heavy stuff 
i feel bad for hazel tho, she must b dyin to c her hubby there 4 the new addition 
Draymond's gotta miss his kid's birth for the Warriors? I get it, job comes first but come on, that's some tough stuff 
. Family is everything to him and I respect that, but you know how it is when life gets in the way 
. The Warriors need him back ASAP tho, Curry's coming back and they gotta turn this around 
️.
anyway, warriors need draymond back ASAP 
they're struggling right now & curry's return is key 
I feel bad for Draymond Green, but come on Warriors management! Can't you guys find a way to make it work? A road trip in the middle of someone's first-time parenthood? It's just so... uncivilized 
. And what about his wife Hazel and their other kids? Are they going to have to deal with this too? 
I mean, Draymond knows it's part of the job, but can't we all take a chill pill? 
He's not getting any younger (or is he 
) and having five kids by the time you're 40 is already crazy enough! This just shows that in today's sports world, family life takes a backseat. It's just so sad 
he's gonna miss his baby's birth cuz of work 
. draymond's been open about how much his kids mean to him, so i'm sure he'll be thinking of them every step of the way 
!
but like, we know he's doin it 4 his team & his job & that's what matters 
. Hopefully the Warriors can get some wins on this road trip and Curry comes back strong when he returns... fingers crossed! 
.
And now it's just another day in the NBA grind. Poor Draymond, I hope he makes it back in time for the baby's first steps tho 
. He always talks about how much he loves his kids and wants to spend time with them, it's like his heart is breaking right now 
. I hope he can make up for lost time when he gets back, maybe even plan a special celebration with his new baby 
he's always talking about spending time with his kids and how it teaches him new things, so it feels kinda unfair that he has to miss this one
