Green has been tremendous defensively for the Warriors in their first-round playoff series against the Houston Rockets as well. The four-time All-Star is averaging 6.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.7 steals and 1.7 blocks per game against the Rockets and has helped the Warriors be up 2-1 in the series.

Golden State Warriors forward-center Draymond Green is the winner of the 2024-25 NBA Hustle Award. The NBA Hustle Award honors players who make the effort plays that don’t often appear in the traditional box score but impact winning on a nightly basis.
