It was a call Warriors star Draymond Green would never forget.
Watching TV at his Northern California home, Green had just seen the news come across his screen that the NBA season would be suspended as result of the coronavirus pandemic. After a few frantic hours with little information, Golden State general manager Bob Myers’ name popped up on Green’s phone.
“He gave me a call and he’s like ‘man this is crazy right?’ ” Green said of the conversation on the Paul Rivera Podcast. “He’s like ‘well, the season’s suspended, it’s not canceled. We don’t know anything, I know your next question is your pay, we don’t know anything, all we know is the season is suspended indefinitely.’ ”
