Dub Hub: Draymond Green acknowledges that his body has been “more taxed” this season while playing center.

But there’s an intangible toll. Green admitted postgame that increased minutes at the center spot put more wear and tear on a body that has been loaded up with basketball miles. Green turned 34 this month. After a long college career, he’s in his 12th NBA season, which includes 157 high-intensity playoff games.

“It’s definitely more taxing because at the five you are involved in every possession,” Green said. “At the four, fours don’t crash every time. You may not have to box out every possession. At the five, you got to box out every play. Fives are trying to get the ball every play. Even something as simple as that, let’s call it 20 more box outs a game. That’s contact. That’s a battle. So it’s definitely more taxing. But I’m cut out for it.”

“It’s all about winning here,” Looney told NBC Sports Bay Area on Tuesday. “It’s been all about winning since I’ve been here, and I’ve seen a lot of guys making sacrifices, guys that are better than me. So, who would I be to complain or cry and not carry on the tradition of being a great teammate?

“I feel like that’s my job. I’m going to keep doing that and when the time comes that Steve needs me to go out there and play again, I’m going to go out there and try to play at the highest level I can.”
