Draymond Green's son Draymond Jr. was in attendance for Steph Curry and Co.'s match-up against the defending champions Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. Draymond Jr. made headlines when he was last spotted on the sidelines. He was seen assisting the Warriors support staff by distributing towels and face masks to players during timeouts.

Draymond Jr. was seen donning another part-time role on the sidelines this time around. He was part of the medical staff on the night and was spotted helping out the athletic trainer while the latter was treating Steph Curry for a minor finger injury during a timeout. Here's a clip of this heart-warming gesture by Draymond Jr. posted by Warriors on NBCS:

Steph Curry and the Warriors find momentum as Draymond Green nears return

The Golden State Warriors have struggled since the absence of Draymond Green. However, they seem to have turned things around just as he nears his return. Steph Curry and Co. have recorded three wins in a row, beating the LA Clippers, Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks.

All three sides have been tough to beat this year, so the Warriors are in high spirits, with Green set to make his comeback in their next match against the Washington Wizards on Monday, March 14th.

The Warriors' latest win against the Bucks could be considered a statement win of sorts. Steph Curry, who has had to lead the team single-handedly on multiple occasions in Draymond's absence, recorded only eight points on the night, shooting three of seven from the floor.

Despite that, Golden State managed to bag a 122-109 win over the defending champions, thanks to Klay Thompson's 38 points and Jordan Poole's 30-point effort. Thompson's return to form and Poole playing consistently well over his last few games will bolster the Warriors' confidence, with the playoffs coming up soon.

Klay Thompson put on a clinic tonight vs. the Bucks 😤

🔹 38 PTS
🔹 6 REB
🔹 5 AST
🔹 15-24 FG
🔹 8-14 3-PT FG https://t.co/VNacXfm2BZ

It will be interesting to see how good the Golden State Warriors will be when Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson are in action together. The trio haven't played a game together since the 2019 NBA Finals. Draymond Green was on the floor to start when Thompson made his season debut, but he left the floor shortly after as he was still recovering from a calf injury.

Curry, Thompson and Green have won three NBA titles together and they probably have the best chemistry in the league. If the Warriors enter the postseason healthy, they will likely be the hot favorites to win the Western Conference and make their first NBA Finals appearance in three years.
