Speaking for the first time since suffering his scary back injury against the Kings on Mar. 31, Warriors guard Patrick McCaw told reporters he still can’t sleep at night due to the pain, via Melissa Rohlin of the Bay Area News Group:
McCaw can’t sleep at night because of the pain. He couldn’t describe the pain, but called it, “The toughest pain that you’ve ever had. It’s like that right now. I’m trying to take a lot of medicine to help, but it’s not really working right now at this point.” pic.twitter.com/NHx5eoIhjU
