VanVleet Urges Draymond Green to Pray for Butlers Return After Injury News

North American journalist and commentator for the San Francisco Standard, Tim Kawakami, shared an interesting exchange involving Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet and Golden State Warriors’ forward and team leader Draymond Green.

«I actually heard the story about VanVleet and Draymond. After the game, VanVleet told Draymond, ‘You better pray that Jimmy comes back.’ That’s what he said, although it included a couple of other choice words,” Kawakami mentioned during the Warriors Plus Minus podcast.

Notably, these remarks were likely made following the second game of the NBA playoff series between the two teams. In that game, Warriors forward Jimmy Butler suffered an injury.
