Draymond Green is angry at speculation about the absence of teammate Andrew Wiggins, who has not played with the Golden State Warriors since Feb. 18. The team has excused Wiggins' absence as a personal matter, but their respect for his privacy has fueled conjecture.

"Sometimes people disgust me," Green said on his podcast.

The Golden State Warriors (37-36), the defending NBA champions, are sixth in the Western Conference. They won just their eighth road game this season on Monday against the Houston Rockets 121-108. The team has struggled away from its homecourt, going 8-29, with two of those wins at lowly Houston.
