On Tuesday, New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns missed his team's 114–102 loss to the Golden State Warriors while his girlfriend—model Jordyn Woods— mourned a friend's death from breast cancer.

While most NBA media and fans have been understandably focused on the Lakers’ blockbuster trade for Luka Dončić, their cross-state rivals have quietly been playing their best basketball of the season.

Draymond Green showed almost no remorse when informed about the real reason Karl-Anthony Towns missed the Knicks-Warriors game.

Draymond Green says that his comments about Karl-Anthony Towns' missing a recent game came from "what he heard" after learning that the New York Knicks center didn't go because of the death of a family friend.

Draymond Green sent well wishes to Karl-Anthony Towns after the death after a family friend, but says he was just repeating what he heard when he said on his podcast that Towns didn’t play for the Knicks against Golden State this week because Jimmy Butler was in the building.

While many expected Jimmy Butler to be at odds with Draymond Green when the Golden State Warriors acquired him at this year's trade deadline, the two get along fine. In fact, Green now admits that he understands why so many players have had issues with Butler in the past.
