Draymond Green Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Timberwolves vs Warriors game on Friday with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 7, 2025
Won't suit up Sunday
Green (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss his second consecutive contest due to a right midfoot sprain, and his next chance to play will come Friday against the Timberwolves. With the veteran big man and Al Horford (sciatica) both sidelined, Quinten Post is expected to start at center, while Trayce Jackson-Davis is likely to see an uptick in minutes.
Dec 6, 2025
Won't play Saturday
Green (foot) won't play Saturday against the Cavs.
ANALYSIS
Green was able to participate at shootaround, so while he'll skip the front end of this back-to-back set, it would seem there's a chance he might be able to get back out there for Sunday's game in Chicago. With Green watching from the sidelines Saturday, there will be more minutes available for Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis.
Dec 6, 2025
Participates at shootaround
Green (foot) participated in Saturday's shootaround, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is still being listed as questionable for Saturday's game in Cleveland, but his participation in shootaround is an encouraging development after he was seen leaving the 76ers' arena in a walking boot following Thursday's loss. Green will likely be a game-time call Saturday night, so managers will need to check back closer to tip-off for official word on his status.
Dec 5, 2025
Officially questionable
Green (foot) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Green suffered a right foot injury during Thursday's contest, and despite being spotted in a walking boot postgame, the veteran big man is expected to play through the issue. He'll officially carry a questionable tag into Saturday's contest. If Green can't play or is limited, Trayce Jackson-Davis and Quinetn Post would see more minutes. Al Horford (back) has already been ruled out for Saturday.
Dec 4, 2025
Expects to play through injury
Green was wearing a walking boot after Thursday's game against the 76ers but intends to continue playing through a right foot injury, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The severity of Green foot issue is unclear at this time, though he mentioned in the postgame media scrum that he suffered the injury when Dominick Barlow landed on his right foot in the first half. Green will likely be re-evaluated over the next day or so as the team prepares to face off against Cleveland on Saturday.
Dec 4, 2025
Won't return Thursday
Green has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game against Philadelphia due to a right foot injury. He'll finish the night with three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one block in nine minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green was in obvious discomfort as he exited the court for the locker room, and he didn't come back out for the start of the second half. He can be considered day-to-day until the team has more information on the extent of his injury.
Dec 4, 2025
Heads to locker room
Green went to the locker room during the second quarter of Thursday's game against the 76ers due to an apparent right foot/ankle injury, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was favoring his right foot as he slowly made his way to the locker room. The Warriors are already thin without Stephen Curry (quadriceps) and Jimmy Butler (knee), so it would likely be up to Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis to pick up the slack at center if Green is unable to return.
Dec 2, 2025
Available Tuesday
Green (foot) is available for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
This was the second time Green appeared on the injury report with a foot issue, but he will continue to play through it. Green has been dealing with minor injuries recently, but he's still producing, averaging 8.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 blocks over his past six appearances.
Dec 1, 2025
Back on injury report
Green is probable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder due to a right foot sprain.
ANALYSIS
Green is listed as probable on the team's injury report for a second straight game. He made it through Wednesday's matchup without issue, so he'll presumably be cleared to play at some point before Tuesday's contest.
Nov 27, 2025
Teases triple-double in loss
Green totaled 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, eight assists and two blocks over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 104-100 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
it was a vintage performance from the veteran center, and the closest he's come this season to recording his 34th career triple-double. Green has had a little trouble staying on the court of late due to minor ailments, but the Warriors may need to lean on him a little more heavily if Stephen Curry (quadriceps) ends up missing significant time. Over his last five appearances, Green is averaging 9.8 points, 7.6 boards, 7.0 assists, 1.8 blocks, 1.6 threes and 1.0 steals in 31.4 minutes a contest.
Nov 26, 2025
Available to play Wednesday
Green (foot) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Green is back after a one-game stint on the sidelines, and he will not have any minutes restrictions, so feel free to fire him up. With Green back in action, Gary Payton or Quinten Post will head back to the second unit.
Nov 25, 2025
Upgraded to probable
Green (foot) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Green is likely to return from a one-game absence with a foot sprain. The veteran forward's presence should send Quinten Post to the second unit. For the season, Green has averaged 8.1 points, 5.8 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks in 28.7 minutes per tilt across 16 games.
Nov 25, 2025
Questionable for Wednesday
Green (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, and the Warriors are likely to see how he's progressing closer to Wednesday's tipoff before updating his status. Should the veteran forward need to sit out, more playing time would be available to Quinten Post at center and Moses Moody at power forward.
Nov 24, 2025
Won't play Monday
Green (foot) will not play Monday against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Green was unable to shake his questionable tag for this contest. For now, he can be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets. With Al Horford (sciatica) out, the Warriors could rely on Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis in the short term.
Nov 23, 2025
Iffy for Monday
Green (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz, Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Green had been dealing with an illness and is now managing a foot injury that leaves his status uncertain for Monday's game. If he joins Al Horford (sciatica) on the sidelines, Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis would be in line to cover the center minutes.
Nov 21, 2025
Available to play
Green (illness) will be available to play Friday against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Green is back after a one-game stint on the sidelines, which will likely result in Trayce Jackson-Davis heading back to the second unit. There will also be fewer minutes available for Quinten Post.
Nov 20, 2025
Likely to play Friday
Green (illness) is listed as probable for Friday's game against Portland.
ANALYSIS
Green did not play in Wednesday's loss to the Heat due to an illness, but the veteran forward is slated to be available for the start of the Warriors' five-game homestand Friday. Golden State are set to get their key players back for Friday's contest as Stephen Curry (ankle) and Al Horford (toe) aren't listed on the injury report while Jimmy Butler (back) is listed as probable. Across nine games since Nov. 1, Green has averaged 7.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.7 steals over 28.0 minutes per game.
Nov 19, 2025
Officially out
Green (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Green will be sidelined for Wednesday's contest due to illness. With Jimmy Butler (back), Al Horford (toe) and Jonathan Kuminga (knee) all sidelined, look for Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis to see plenty of minutes. Green's next chance to play will come Friday against Portland.
Nov 19, 2025
Not expected to play Wednesday
Shams Charania of ESPN reported on NBA Today that Green (illness), who's officially listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat, is not expected to play.
ANALYSIS
Charania also said that Butler, who is also questionable, isn't expected to play. If that's the case, Green and Butler will join Stephen Curry (ankle), Al Horford (rest) and Jonathan Kuminga (knees) on the sidelines. With so many veterans out for the second half of a back-to-back set, Will Richard, Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody should get all the usage they can handle.
Nov 19, 2025
Dealing with illness
Green (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami.
ANALYSIS
Green was a late addition to the injury report for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Stephen Curry (ankle), Jonathan Kuminga (knees) and Al Horford (rest) have already been ruled out, while Jimmy Butler (back) and Buddy Hield (illness) are questionable. The Warriors may need guys like Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis to soak up a lot of minutes with the Warriors very shorthanded.
Nov 15, 2025
Struggles against Wembanyama
Green supplied six points (3-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, eight assists and three blocks over 33 minutes during Friday's 109-108 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Victor Wembanyama held court in the paint Friday evening, but Green refused to go down without a fight. Referees had to separate the big men in the fourth quarter after they contested for an inbounds pass. Green then committed two fouls in the span of a few seconds. He yelled a few choice words at the official who made the second call, narrowly avoiding a technical foul. Although Green salvaged his line with good secondary numbers, he only converted 25 percent of his shots and missed all four of his attempts beyond the arc.
Nov 13, 2025
Subpar line vs. San Antonio
Green had six points (1-10 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 27 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 125-120 victory over San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler led the way for the Warriors in this win against a rising Spurs team, but Green didn't have his best performance. He endured a tough matchup against Victor Wembanyama and was unable to make an impact defensively while also being limited to a poor 1-for-10 shooting performance. Green will aim to bounce back Friday in a rematch against San Antonio, though the matchup against Wembanyama is not favorable for the veteran center due to the difference in size, reach and length between both players.
Nov 12, 2025
Muted performance in loss
Green totaled three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 126-102 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Golden State has lost five of their last seven games and now sit at 6-6 on the season. Green has been particularly cold over his last five appearances, posting averages of 6.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.4 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers while shooting 42.3 percent from the field in 27.0 minutes per contest.
Nov 8, 2025
Returns to action with 17 points
Green produced 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Friday's 129-104 loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
Green produced his best scoring total of the season during the blowout loss, and was one of just two players in the starting lineup to record a double-digit result. The Warriors lack efficiency without Stephen Curry (illness) in the lineup, but Green appeared to be immune from his absence and held up against Nikola Jokic for most of the game. Green was also deadly beyond the arc, drilling a season-high five three-pointers.
Nov 7, 2025
Available vs. Denver
Green (ribs) is available for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors have expectedly upgraded Green from probable to available. The veteran forward should be able to handle his usual duties in the frontcourt. Green has averaged 8.0 points, 6.4 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 29.6 minutes per game over eight appearances this season.
Nov 6, 2025
Probable vs. Denver
Green (ribs) is probable for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Green didn't play Wednesday against the Kings in the second leg of a back-to-back set, but the star big man looks likely to suit up Friday after a one-game absence. Green is averaging 8.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 0.8 steals per game in eight appearances this season.
Nov 5, 2025
Won't play Wednesday
Green (ribs) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game in Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Green will join Stephen Curry (illness) and Jimmy Butler (back) on the inactive list Wednesday night, leaving ample opportunity for guys like Buddy Hield, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody. Green's next chance to play will come Friday in Denver.
Nov 5, 2025
Iffy for Wednesday
Green is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings with a right rib contusion.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors could be very thin for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Stephen Curry (illness) has been ruled out, while Jimmy Butler (back) and Brandin Podziemski (wrist) are both questionable. If Green is unable to play, the Warriors could lean heavily on guys like Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody and Buddy Hield.
Oct 31, 2025
Hands out six assists
Green totaled seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and one block in 33 minutes during Thursday's 120-110 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Green did take a shot to the face during this contest, prompting a trip to the locker room. He returned moments later, however, and it doesn't seem like it will be an issue going forward. Through six regular-season games, Green holds averages of 9.0 points, 7.0 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks in 27.8 minutes per contest.
Oct 24, 2025
Near triple-double territory in win
Green supplied 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and one block over 34 minutes during Thursday's 137-131 overtime win over Denver.
ANALYSIS
Green was up to his usual tricks in the Warriors' second game of the season, dropping multi-category production through 34 minutes on the floor. Al Horford's addition was expected to provide some relief for Green, and the rotation seems to bear that out so far. The duo spent about a minute on the floor together during Thursday's game, but Horford has been his direct replacement otherwise.
Oct 22, 2025
Flirts with triple-double
Green provided eight points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 119-109 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green looked to be in mid-season form Tuesday, spending time at both power forward and center. He was limited to 28 minutes due to foul trouble, however. At his best, Green can still be a triple-double threat, but his scoring is something that comes and goes. Look for him to be a solid source of rebounds, assists and defensive stats in his age-35 campaign.
Oct 17, 2025
Starting Friday
Green is in the starting lineup for Friday's exhibition against the Clippers, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green sat out Tuesday's exhibition, but he'll be back in action for Friday's preseason finale and will be joined in the first unit by Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Will Richard and Al Horford.
Oct 13, 2025
Won't go Tuesday
Green will not play in Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers for rest purposes, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will get the night off Tuesday after logging two points, four assists, two steals and one rebound in 22 minutes during Sunday's 126-116 preseason loss to the Lakers. Al Horford (rest) will return to the lineup and be the main beneficiary in Green's absence.
Oct 9, 2025
Efficient shooting in win
Green tallied nine points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and two assists across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 129-123 preseason win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Green missed only one field-goal attempt during his limited time on the floor. The veteran forward connected on two three-pointers, which was his biggest impact on the game.
Apr 13, 2025
Quickly returns Sunday
Green (neck) checked back in at the 1:30 mark of the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Clippers, Danny Emerman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green briefly went to the locker room after appearing to tweak his neck while diving for a loose ball. The injury doesn't appear to be serious as he was able to return to the floor after just 10 minutes in the locker room.
Apr 13, 2025
Goes to locker room
Green went to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Clippers due to a neck issue, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green appeared to injure his neck after diving for a loose ball that went out of bounds. He was replaced by Kevin Looney at the 6:22 mark, and Green went to the locker room after a quick conversation with trainers. Looney and Jonathan Kuminga would likely see an uptick in playing time if Green is unable to return to Sunday's contest.
Apr 10, 2025
Logs all-around total in defeat
Green logged 13 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 114-111 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Green came tantalizingly close to a triple-double during the shocking loss, and his clutch free throws in the final seconds gave the Warriors a chance to take it to overtime. Harrison Barnes thwarted that wish, and the result is a potential drop into the play-in tournament. Luckily for the Warriors, the hot-headed Green has managed to stay out of trouble and will be a full participant as the team makes a final push to improve their postseason outlook.
Apr 7, 2025
Invisible in loss
Green ended with two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and four assists across 27 minutes during Sunday's 106-96 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
This was one of Green's worst performances of the season. He's been struggling for a while, too, hitting 39.6 percent from the field over his last seven games with 7.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks in 27.8 minutes per contest. With the Warriors jostling for playoff seeding, they may not have the luxury of resting Green much in the final four games of the regular season.
Apr 2, 2025
Posts triple-double
Green accumulated 13 points (4-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, 12 assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 134-125 win over Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Green didn't have a good shooting performance and needed 12 shots to score 13 points, mainly due to his struggles from the three-point line. However, the veteran forward found a way to make his presence felt in other areas and finished with his second triple-double of the campaign. Green, who was recently named the Defensive Player of the month in the Western Conference for the games played in March, is averaging 10.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.4 blocks per contest over his last 10 contests.
Mar 29, 2025
Fills stat sheet Friday
Green chipped in six points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 25 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 111-95 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors cruised to an easy win Friday on the heels of the performances from Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler, but the Warriors wouldn't be where they are right now in the standings if it weren't for Green's contributions. His numbers don't jump off the page, but the veteran has been putting up excellent figures across the board, sometimes as a scorer but more often than not as a defender and playmaker. Green is averaging 9.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.0 blocks per game since the beginning of March.
Mar 21, 2025
Strikes for 21 against Raptors
Green contributed 21 points (7-18 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and four steals over 31 minutes during Thursday's 117-114 win over Toronto.
ANALYSIS
It's the second time in the last five games that Green has topped 20 points, although he scored just 22 points total in the other three contests. The veteran center's biggest impact continues to come at the defensive end of the court -- he's recorded multiple steals or blocks, or both, in three straight games, and through 11 appearances in March he's averaging 11.5 points, 7.3 boards, 6.2 assists, 2.0 steals, 1.4 threes and 1.1 blocks.
Mar 19, 2025
Pulls down 10 boards
Green finished Tuesday's 104-93 victory over the Bucks with three points (1-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and two steals in 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
With Stephen Curry (rest) sidelined, Green wasn't able to capitalize on the increased offensive usage. He stepped it up defensively, however -- this was his fourth game of the season with at least four blocks. His defense is a big reason why his fantasy value is trending up. Over his last 10 games, Green has been a fifth-round value in nine-category formats with 10.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.2 blocks.
Mar 14, 2025
Leads Golden State in win
Green produced 23 points (8-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 130-104 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Green tied the game-high mark in points, recording just his second 20-plus-point performance on the season. He also sank multiple triples for the 18th time over 52 regular-season games. The veteran big man is not known as a scorer but has stuffed the stat sheet throughout the season, and he is on pace to average his most points per game (9.2) since the 2018-19 season. Over 11 appearances since the All-Star break, Green has averaged 11.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 1.6 steals across 30.1 minutes per contest.
Mar 9, 2025
Full stat line in win
Green closed with 12 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, three steals and one block across 31 minutes during Saturday's 115-110 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Green tied the team-high marks in rebounds and steals, providing a balanced outing en route to Golden State's fourth consecutive victory. The 35-year-old also sank multiple three-pointers for the 17th time in 50 regular-season games. The veteran big man has continuously stuffed the stat sheet in nine outings since the All-Star break, during which he has averaged 11.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.4 steals across 30.4 minutes per contest.
Mar 4, 2025
Double-doubles in win
Green posted 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Monday's 119-101 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Green has recorded a double-double five times for the Warriors this season while helping Golden State win 33 games during the 2024-25 campaign so far. The versatile veteran averages 9.0 points per game, his highest total since the 2017-18 season.
Mar 2, 2025
Teases triple-double in loss
Green finished with 13 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists over 36 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
The veteran big came within sniffing distance of his first triple-double of the season, and the 33rd of his career. Green has been finding his groove, scoring in double digits in six of the last seven games while averaging 12.1 points, 6.6 assists, 6.4 boards, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks, but the return of Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) could shake up the Warriors' frontcourt.
Feb 27, 2025
Double-double vs. Orlando
Green registered 12 points (3-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 121-115 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Green led the Warriors in rebounding Thursday while logging his fifth double-double of the season. He's never been known for his scoring, but he has scored in double digits in five of his last six outings and has shot 49.1 percent from the field over that span. Green and the Warriors will look to extend their five-game winning streak to six against the 76ers on Saturday.
Feb 26, 2025
Puts up 15 points in blowout
Green closed with 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists, two blocks and three steals in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 128-92 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Green's shot volume was exceptionally high in the win. His 12 shot attempts marked the veteran's second-highest total of the season in the category. Green has reached double-digit scoring totals several times this season, and his fantasy value is heightened when he can match production alongside his excellent contribution in secondary categories.
Feb 13, 2025
Busy on defense in loss
Green registered 13 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 111-107 loss to Dallas.
ANALYSIS
The veteran center has produced at least five combined blocks and steals in three straight games, making a big impact at the defensive end of the court since Jimmy Butler made his Golden State debut. Green has been able to suit up for all six contests so far in February while playing through minor calf and neck issues, averaging 8.2 points, 5.8 assists, 4.7 boards, 2.7 steals and 1.0 blocks on the month in 32.0 minutes a game.
Feb 11, 2025
Nabs season-high five pilfers
Green posted six points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and five steals across 32 minutes during Monday's 125-111 win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
The five steals were a season high for Green, who concentrated on his supporting role while Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler combined for 58 points. Green has scored in double digits only once in five games since returning from a calf strain at the beginning of the month, averaging 7.2 points, 6.0 assists, 4.6 boards, 2.6 steals and 0.8 blocks to begin February.
Feb 7, 2025
Returns to the floor
Green (neck) has returned to the floor Thursday against the Lakers, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green wasn't in the locker room for very long before being cleared to get back on the floor for Golden State. The veteran returning could prove crucial to the outcome of this game, as the Warriors might be able to pull off the comeback in Los Angeles.
Feb 7, 2025
Heads to locker room
Green went to the locker room during Thursday's game against the Lakers with an apparent neck injury, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
During the fourth quarter of Thursday's matchup against the Lakers, Green went to the locker room to get a neck injury checked out by the Warriors' medical staff. The four-time NBA champion logged 27 minutes before heading to the locker room, racking up 12 points, three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block.
Feb 6, 2025
Available Thursday
Green (calf) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green will be on the floor Thursday to take on the Lakers in Los Angeles. The veteran forward played the last two games for Golden State after missing seven straight games with a calf issue. The four-time NBA champion is averaging 8.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game for the Warriors this season.
Feb 6, 2025
Probable for Thursday
Green (calf) is probable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
In his second game since returning from a calf injury, Green logged 34 minutes against the Jazz on Wednesday with seven points, nine assists, four rebounds and two steals. His calf must've responded well, especially if the Warriors are planning on him playing the second leg of this back-to-back set.
Feb 5, 2025
Good to go
Green (calf) will play in Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will suit up for the first end of Golden State's back-to-back set despite missing seven consecutive games before Monday's win over Orlando. The 34-year-old forward is averaging 8.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 2.1 combined steals-plus-blocks across 27.9 minutes per game this season.
Feb 4, 2025
Probable for Wednesday
Green (calf) is listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup against Utah.
ANALYSIS
Green is expected to suit up Wednesday after returning from a seven-game absence due to a left calf strain in Monday's win over Orlando. The veteran big man posted four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal across 29 minutes during his return. If things take a turn for the worse and Green is sidelined Wednesday, Moses Moody and Gui Santos are candidates for a bump in minutes.

Dishes out five dimes in return
Green (calf) tallied four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal across 29 minutes Monday in the Warriors' 104-99 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Green made his return from a seven-game absence due to a left calf strain, taking back his spot in the starting five while actually exceeding his season-long average in minutes (27.9 per game). The veteran forward looks as though he'll be free of restrictions moving forward, but his declining efficiency makes him a less reliable lineup option than his reputation might suggest, especially in shallower fantasy leagues. He's converting at just a 41.6 percent clip from the field and is knocking down a career-low 59.7 percent of his free-throw attempts.
Feb 3, 2025
Good to go Monday
Green (calf) is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Magic, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has been given the green light to suit up Monday after missing seven consecutive matchups with a left calf strain. It's unknown if he'll be on any kind of minute restriction in his first game back, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see the team keep a close eye on his playing time.
Feb 3, 2025
Listed probable for Monday
Green (calf) is probable to return for Monday's game against Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Green, who has missed eight of Golden State's last nine games with a left calf strain, appears set to make a return. He could have restrictions, however, but there hasn't been any official reporting on that matter yet. Green holds averages of 8.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.1 blocks per game this season.
Feb 1, 2025
Hopeful to return next week
Green (calf) could be back on the floor for the Warriors as early as next week, says head coach Steve Kerr, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has missed eight of the last nine games for the Warriors while nursing a left calf strain. The four-time NBA champion returning to the floor next week is promising news for Golden State, who desperately need what he brings to the table on both ends of the basketball floor. The veteran is averaging 8.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.1 blocks per game this season.
Jan 30, 2025
Ruled out for Friday
Green (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns,Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss a seventh straight game for the Warriors as he continues to nurse a left calf strain. Andrew Wiggins will likely continue to start at Green's position, with Gary Payton also likely getting the nod as a starter. Gui Santos and Kevon Looney may continue to get more time on the floor, with the four-time NBA champion still on the mend.
Jan 27, 2025
Making good progress
The Warriors announced Monday that Green is making good progress with his recovery from a strained left calf.
ANALYSIS
Green has missed the past four games for the Warriors, but a return appears to be on the horizon. He's been cleared to begin light on-court work, and he's expected to rejoin parts of practice in the coming days. Based on this update, it would be a big surprise if he returned prior to Jan. 31 against the Suns, meaning he will miss at least a couple more games.
Jan 20, 2025
To miss four games
Green will miss at least four games due to a mild left calf strain, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
This means Green will miss games against the Celtics, Kings, Bulls and Lakers. He'll be re-evaluated in a week, putting a potential return against the Jazz on Jan. 28 on the table. With Green sidelined, guys like Trayce Jackson-Davis, Kevon Looney and Gui Santos could be called upon to soak up some frontcourt minutes.
Jan 19, 2025
Not playing Monday
Green (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Green lasted just three minutes in Saturday's win over the Wizards before exiting the contest, so his absence from Monday's matchup isn't surprising. This means Gui Santos, Lindy Waters and possibly Buddy Hield could see more minutes in small-ball lineups due to their lack of depth in the frontcourt. Green's next chance to play will come against the Kings on Wednesday.
Jan 18, 2025
To undergo an MRI
Green will undergo an MRI on his left calf Sunday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green left Saturday's game versus the Wizards with what was described as "tightness" in his calf. He had a significant limp after the game, however, so presumably the Warriors are looking for a bit more clarity via an MRI. For now, fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Monday's game versus Boston.
Jan 18, 2025
Done for night with calf tightness
Green will not return to Saturday's game against the Wizards due to left calf tightness, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Green, who had just returned from a three-game absence Saturday due to an illness, played just three minutes before leaving this game for good. He had a pretty significant limp, but it's a good sign if the Warriors are just diagnosing him with "tightness." Gui Santos is likely to see extended minutes for the remainder of this game.
Jan 18, 2025
Limps to locker room
Green limped back to the locker room during Saturday's game against Washington with 9:00 minutes remaining in the first quarter, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
This is some pretty awful luck for Green who just returned from a three-game absence after battling an illness. If Green is unable to return Saturday, the Warriors could rely on Gui Santos to pick up most of his minutes.
Jan 18, 2025
Will play vs. Washington
Green (illness) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Wizards, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has missed the last three games for the Warriors with an illness and will be able to return Saturday against Washington. The four-time NBA champion is averaging 8.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.2 blocks per game this season.
Jan 17, 2025
Probable for Saturday
Green (illness) is probable for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Green missed the past three games for the Warriors, but he's trending in the right direction ahead of Saturday's game. With Green expected back, guys like Trayce Jackson-Davis and Lindy Waters could offer less upside in fantasy formats.
Jan 15, 2025
Ruled out Wednesday
Green (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Green is out with an illness Wednesday. His next chance to return is Saturday against the Wizards. Trayce Jackson-Davis should play a bigger role against Minnesota.
Jan 14, 2025
Iffy against Minnesota
Green (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Green is in danger of missing his third straight contest Wednesday due to an illness. If Green is forced to sit out yet again, Trayce Jackson-Davis (thumb) and Lindy Waters should continue to receive increased playing time.
Jan 13, 2025
Ruled out Monday
Green (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Green missed Friday's game against the Pacers due to a back injury, but was absent from Monday's shootaround in preparation for the Raptors, and is now officially sidelined due to his illness. With Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) also out, Kyle Anderson is slated to see heavy minutes due to their respective absences.
Jan 13, 2025
Absent from shootaround
Green, who missed Friday's game against the Pacers with a back injury, is questionable for Monday's game against the Raptors with an illness, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Steve Kerr previously said that Green was expected to return from his back injury Monday, but this illness could certainly change things -- Green was not present at the morning shootaround as a result. If the veteran forward is unable to play Monday, Kyle Anderson could see extended run after posting eight points, seven rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in 26 minutes against the Pacers on Friday.
Jan 12, 2025
Trending toward return Monday
Coach Steve Kerr said Sunday that Green (back) was able to practice and is expected to play in Monday's matchup versus the Raptors, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is expected to make his return to game action after he was ruled out of Friday's loss to Indiana due to a back injury. Over his last five outings, the veteran big man has averaged 9.6 points, 5.6 assists, 5.4 rebounds, 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steals across 29.2 minutes per contest.
Jan 10, 2025
Won't play against Indiana
Green is out for Friday's game versus the Pacers due to a back injury.
ANALYSIS
Green will sit out the second leg of Golden State's back-to-back Friday due to an issue with the left L5-s1 disc in his back. Kyle Anderson will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. Green's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Toronto.
Jan 9, 2025
Set to play Thursday
Green (ankle) is available for Thursday's game versus the Pistons, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday despite dealing with a left ankle sprain. Green is averaging 8.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.1 steals in 28.2 minutes across his last 10 appearances.
Jan 8, 2025
Questionable for Thursday
Green (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors could be shorthanded during Thursday's game on the road against the Pistons. Green is currently questionable, along with Stephen Curry and Dennis Schroder. Kyle Anderson could get some extended minutes if Green is ruled out in Detroit.
Jan 8, 2025
Posts rebound-assist double-double
Green racked up seven points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds and 10 assists in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 114-98 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
There are few players in the league who hit the rare rebound-assist milestone with any frequency, but Green's lower shot volume has allowed him to achieve it frequently throughout his career. Jonathan Kuminga's (ankle) extended absence is expect to reap further benefits for Green and Trayce-Jackson Davis, who will join Green to defend the interior.
Jan 3, 2025
Contributes across board Thursday
Green (back) chipped in 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and three blocks over 31 minutes during Thursday's 139-105 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Green chipped in across the board for the Warriors, making a considerable impact on both side of the floor in Thursday's blowout win. The veteran forward has reached double digits in scoring in just three of his last seven games, but over that stretch, he's still been productive with averages of 8.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.6 blocks, 1.0 steals and 1.6 threes to mitigate the inconsistent scoring outputs. Although the 34-year-old Green's fantasy upside is limited at this stage of his career, he should remain a steady source of dimes, boards treys and defensive stats going forward.
Jan 2, 2025
Good to go
Green (back) is available for Thursday's game against the 76ers, head coach Steve Kerr told Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Green logged 25 minutes in the blowout loss to the Cavaliers on Monday, and even though he continues to deal with a back issue, he's not expected to have any limitations for this matchup. Green is averaging 7.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game since the beginning of December.
Jan 1, 2025
Probable for Thursday
Green (back) has been listed as probable for Thursday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Green has been dealing with back soreness that has kept his playing status uncertain and has impacted his play while on the floor like it did against Cleveland when he shot 1-for-10 from the field and finished with two points in a loss. However, the veteran contributes in other areas, as he's grabbed at least eight rebounds and dished out at least five assists in his last three games.
Dec 31, 2024
Held to two points
Green chipped in two points (1-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal across 25 minutes during Monday's 113-95 loss to Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors are trending in the wrong direction with this being their ninth loss of the month. Green hasn't fared well in December, hitting 37.1 percent from the field with averages of 7.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers over his last nine outings.
Dec 28, 2024
Will play against Phoenix
Green (back) is available to play against the Suns on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Green has missed four of 11 games in December due to back and ankle issues and was sidelined for Friday's loss to the Clippers, but he will play Saturday. Green is averaging 8.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals over 28.3 minutes per game this season.
Dec 28, 2024
Officially questionable
Green (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Green missed the first leg of the Warriors' back-to-back Friday with a lower back bruise but was expected to be back in action Saturday. However, he's been given a questionable tag, putting his availability back in doubt. Kyle Anderson drew the start Friday and would likely do so again if Green sits.
Dec 28, 2024
Expected to play against Phoenix
Coach Steve Kerr said Friday that he expects Green (back) to play in Saturday's game versus the Suns, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green sat out the first leg of Golden State's back-to-back Friday due to a left low back contusion. However, Green appears on track to suit up Saturday and will likely reclaim his starting spot from Kyle Anderson.
Dec 27, 2024
Ruled out to play Friday
Green (back) is out for Friday's game against the Clippers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors won't take any chances with Green's sore back, and he'll be rested in the first leg of this back-to-back set due to a left low back contusion. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to suit up Saturday against the Suns in the second half of this back-to-back set. Jonathan Kuminga and Kyle Anderson are options to replace Green in the starting lineup.
Dec 27, 2024
Downgraded to doubtful
Green (back) has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Green is dealing with a left low back contusion, and the downgrade in status complicates his chances of suiting up against the Clippers. If he ends up being ruled out, Jonathan Kuminga, Kyle Anderson and even Kevon Looney are all candidates to earn more minutes in the frontcourt.
Dec 26, 2024
Questionable to play Friday
Green is questionable to play Friday against the Clippers due to a left low back contusion.
ANALYSIS
Green is coming off a decent showing against the Lakers, where he racked up 10 rebounds, six assists and four blocks to go along with a mere shooting line of three points on 1-6 FG shooting. Back injuries can be complicated, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Warriors adopt a cautious approach with the big man. A decision on Green's status will probably be made closer to Friday's 10 p.m. ET tipoff.
Dec 26, 2024
Four rejections against Lakers
Green registered three points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, six assists and four blocks across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 115-113 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
The four rejections were Green's best showing in the category since he racked up five blocks Oct. 30 against the Pelicans, while he reached double-digit boards for the first time since Nov. 27. The veteran big's offense remains extremely inconsistent, and he's scored only seven total points over his last three appearances, but Green's defensive contributions keep him on the radar in fantasy formats where scoring is de-emphasized.
Dec 23, 2024
Returns to game
Green (undisclosed) has returned from the locker room and checked back into Monday's game against the Pacers, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green missed the final 10 minutes of the third quarter for undisclosed reasons but returned to the contest at the start of the final period. His return could mean fewer minutes for Kyle Anderson and Jonathan Kuminga.
Dec 23, 2024
Goes to locker room
Green (undisclosed) left Monday's game against the Pacers and went to the locker room early in the third quarter, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was subbed out just two minutes into the third quarter and went back to the locker room. While it's unclear what prompted his exit, it's worth noting he was on the injury report with an ankle injury leading up to the contest. While he's idle, Jonathan Kuminga and Kyle Anderson could see more minutes.
Dec 23, 2024
Good to go
Green (ankle) will play and start Monday's game against the Pacers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was a game-time decision for Monday's contest but after going through pregame warmups without any setbacks, he's been cleared to play. Green replaces Kyle Anderson in the starting lineup.
Dec 23, 2024
GTD for Monday against Indiana
Green (ankle) will go through pregame warmups and is considered a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was sidelined for the Warriors' win over the Timberwolves on Saturday due to a left ankle injury. Kyle Anderson will likely start for a second straight game if Green is unable to be cleared for Monday's contest.
Dec 22, 2024
Questionable to play vs. Pacers
Green (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Green did not play in the Warriors' 113-103 win over the Timberwolves on Saturday due to a left ankle injury. Kyle Anderson would likely remain in Golden State's starting lineup if Green is unable to play Monday.
Dec 21, 2024
Ruled out Saturday
Green (ankle) won't play in Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Earlier reports indicated Green was expected to play Saturday, but he'll wind up watching the contest from the sidelines instead. It's unclear if Green suffered a setback or if his ankle just didn't respond well in warmups. Regardless, Kyle Anderson will step into the starting lineup in Green's place. His next chance to play will come Monday against Indiana.
Dec 21, 2024
Expected to play
Green (ankle) is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green popped up on the Warriors' injury report Saturday afternoon as questionable due to a sore left ankle. Still, he's trending toward playing. Green will look to bounce back from a zero-point, zero-rebound, zero-assist game he produced Thursday against Memphis.
Dec 21, 2024
Late addition to injury report
Green is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Timberwolves due to left ankle soreness.
ANALYSIS
Green is in danger of missing just his third game of the season Saturday after being a late addition to the injury report with an ankle injury. If Green is unable to suit up against Minnesota, Jonathan Kuminga and Kyle Anderson are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Dec 19, 2024
Will start Thursday
Coach Steve Kerr said that Green will start in Thursday's game against the Grizzlies, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in Sunday's loss to Dallas. The veteran has seen the floor in four consecutive outings following a two-game absence due to a calf injury, during which he has averaged 11.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks across 29.0 minutes per contest.
Dec 15, 2024
Retreats to bench
Green will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Mavericks, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will return to a bench role Sunday with Kevon Looney being elevated into the starting lineup. This is just the second game this season in which Green will not start. In his other game in a reserve role, Green posted 10 points, nine rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block in 26 minutes of action.
Dec 8, 2024
Gets start Sunday
Green will enter the starting lineup in Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran big man will supplant Kevon Looney in the starting five on Sunday. Green has appeared in only three of the Warriors' last five outings due to a left calf injury, during which he averaged 11.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks across 29.7 minutes per contest.
Dec 7, 2024
Shifting to bench role
Green is expected to come off the bench for the near future, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was utilized as a reserve during Friday's loss to the Timberwolves, and it wasn't quite clear whether this was being done to ease him back into play following a calf injury. However, the team has since decided to deploy the Michigan State product off the bench going forward, opening the door for Jonathan Kuminga to prove he belongs in Golden State's plan for the future. "A lot of people in this organization, including myself, think he's next," said Green. "So, if he's next, at some point, we gotta see it. For him to do that, he needs the opportunity. If the opportunity falls on you - being me - then, that's what it is. You gotta figure it out. He's earned the right to get that opportunity." Green managed to log 26 minutes off the bench Friday, so he should still play a significant role in the Warriors' rotation.
Dec 6, 2024
Coming off bench Friday
Green is not in the Warriors' starting lineup for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will come off the bench Friday as he eases his way back from a two-game absence due to a left calf injury. Jonathan Kuminga -- who is coming off a 33-point performance against the Rockets on Thursday -- will remain in the Warriors' starting lineup for a third consecutive game.
Dec 6, 2024
Available vs. Minnesota
Green (calf) is available for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, head coach Steve Kerr told Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle.
ANALYSIS
Green has been bothered by a calf problem in recent days and missed the last two games as a result of the injury. However, the veteran forward will suit up for this matchup and should handle something close to his regular workload, although he might have some kind of minutes restriction. Green will have a tough defensive assignment dealing with Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert. He's averaging 8.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game over his last five outings.
Dec 6, 2024
Probable Friday vs. Timberwolves
Green (calf) is probable for Friday's matchup against Minnesota, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has missed the Warriors' last two matchups due to a left calf injury, though he is expected to return to game action Friday. The veteran forward underwent an MRI on Thursday that revealed there's no significant damage to the left calf, but he could operate under a minutes restriction when he returns.
Dec 5, 2024
Tests come back clean
The Warriors announced Thursday that an MRI on Green's calf came back clean and he could return to action for Friday's game versus the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
While Green has avoided a serious injury, he has already been ruled out for Thursday's contest against Houston. Until the 34-year-old forward is able to suit up, Jonathan Kuminga will likely continue to receive increased playing time.
Dec 4, 2024
Will not play Thursday
Green (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Houston.
ANALYSIS
Green was scheduled for an MRI on Wednesday, although results have yet to be shared. Thursday's contest represents the front half of a back-to-back set, with Minnesota coming to town Friday, so Green's left calf tightness will likely be handled with an abundance of caution. Stephen Curry (ankle management) will also be inactive Thursday.
Dec 3, 2024
Set to receive MRI
Steve Kerr said Tuesday that Green (calf) will get an MRI on Wednesday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has already been ruled out for Tuesday's contest due to left calf tightness and Jonathan Kuminga is starting in his absence. Green will receive additional testing Wednesday to determine the severity of his injury.
Dec 3, 2024
Will not play Tuesday
Green (calf) will not play Tuesday against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Coach Steve Kerr hinted Monday that Green would probably miss this contest, and now there's official confirmation from the injury report. The Warriors are likely to use a committee approach to absorb Green's minutes, with guys such as Jonathan Kuminga, Kyle Anderson and Andrew Wiggins possibly offering more upside than they usually do. Green should be considered questionable for Thursday's game against Houston.
Dec 2, 2024
Considered doubtful for Tuesday
Coach Steve Kerr said Green didn't practice Monday due to calf tightness and is considered doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors have yet to release an official injury report, but it sounds like Green is going to miss his first game of the season. Golden State has a deep rotation this year, so many players will likely step up, but Jonathan Kuminga, Kyle Anderson and Andrew Wiggins will likely benefit the most if Green is ultimately sidelined, as expected. The severity of Green's calf injury remains unclear, but following Tuesday's contest, the Warriors have a back-to-back set against the Rockets on Thursday and the Timberwolves on Friday.
Dec 1, 2024
Hands out seven dimes Saturday
Green amassed 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 113-105 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Green was efficient with his shot and handed out seven dimes, making it the 11th straight game in which he dished out at least six assists. The veteran forward has recorded double-digit points just five times in that span, and while his scoring numbers aren't impressive by any means, he remains valuable in most formats due to his ability to fill the stat sheet on a regular basis.
Nov 28, 2024
Gets sixth technical in loss
Green closed Wednesday's 105-101 loss to the Thunder with 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt), 13 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Although Green recorded his second double-double of the season, he logged his sixth technical foul. He's inching closer to 16 technical fouls, which requires an automatic one-game suspension from the league.
Nov 23, 2024
Available Saturday
Green (elbow) is starting against the Spurs on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Green will be available Saturday and should handle his regular workload. The veteran is averaging 9.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game this season.
Nov 23, 2024
Likely to play Saturday
Green is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Spurs due to right elbow soreness.
ANALYSIS
Green has yet to miss a game this season and isn't expected to do so Saturday despite dealing with right elbow soreness. Although he's not known to be much of an outside shooter, Green is converting 45.3 percent of his 3.5 three-point attempts per contest this season.
Nov 16, 2024
Ejected late Friday
Green was ejected from Friday's game against the Grizzlies after being assessed two techincal fouls, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green received the technical fouls from the bench while arguing with officials, and head coach Steve Kerr was also assessed a technical foul, though this all occurred late in the fourth quarter. Green will finish his night with 13 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes.
Nov 12, 2024
Returns to game
Green (groin) checked back into Tuesday's game versus the Mavericks with 6:25 remaining in the second quarter.
ANALYSIS
Green left Tuesday's game with an apparent groin injury but ultimately ended up missing only about 10 minutes of game action. The veteran forward should be available to play out the remainder of the contest.
Nov 12, 2024
Headed to locker room
Green left Tuesday's game versus the Mavericks with 4:36 remaining in the first quarter due to an apparent groin injury, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green tallied five points, four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in seven minutes before exiting Tuesday's contest. If he's unable to return, Trayce Jackson-Davis, Kevon Looney and Jonathan Kuminga are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Nov 11, 2024
Hands out 11 assists
Green closed Sunday's 127-116 victory over the Thunder with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds and 11 assists over 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The 11 dimes were a season-high mark for Green. Even though the veteran isn't known for putting up huge numbers on a game-to-game basis, his contributions across the board make him valuable in most formats, but particularly in category-based formats. Green is averaging 11.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 0.6 steals per contest in November.
Nov 8, 2024
Will play Friday
Green (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Green went unscathed through warm-ups, so he'll be available Friday and should handle his regular workload. The veteran is averaging 8.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.3 blocks per game this season.
Nov 8, 2024
Warming up against Cleveland
Green (knee) is warming up with the intention of playing in Friday's game versus the Cavaliers, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is officially listed as questionable Friday due to a right knee contusion but will likely attempt to play through his injury. The 34-year-old big man is shooting 43.5 percent on 2.9 three-point attempts per contest this season.
Nov 7, 2024
Iffy for Friday
Green is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers due to a right knee contusion.
ANALYSIS
Green likely suffered his injury during Wednesday's win over the Celtics and is now in danger of missing Friday's contest. If Green is unable to suit up against Cleveland, Jonathan Kuminga, Kyle Anderson, Kevon Looney and Trayce Jackson-Davis are all candidates to receive increased playing time.
Nov 5, 2024
Shines in win Monday
Green registered 18 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one block over 29 minutes during Monday's 125-112 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
This was an impressive all-around performance for Green on a night in which Stephen Curry returned to the lineup. One big surprise this season has been Green's perimeter shooting, as he's hit 10-of-19 from beyond the arc for a 52.6 percent mark, well on pace for a career best.
Nov 3, 2024
Tallies first double-double
Green racked up 14 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists over 35 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 127-121 overtime victory over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Green was efficient on the offensive end but uncharacteristically struggled from the charity stripe, where he hit 55.6 percent of his tries. His rebounding numbers have been noticeably down to kick off the 2024-25 campaign, so it was a positive sign to see him round back into form during the team's third straight win.
Oct 31, 2024
Records season-high 14 points
Green posted 14 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, six assists, five blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 104-89 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Green had his best outing of the season during Wednesday's win, tallying a season-high 14 points and five blocks. While Green shouldn't be relied upon to score in bunches consistently, he is averaging 1.8 blocks and 1.8 steals in 2024-25.
Oct 28, 2024
Quiet in loss
Green finished Sunday's 112-104 loss to the Clippers with two points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes.
ANALYSIS
This was a brutal dud for Green on a night in which Stephen Curry left early with an ankle issue. Green has had a rough start to the campaign, but he may step into a much larger role if Curry is forced to miss some time.
Oct 25, 2024
Gets green light Friday
Green (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Green is dealing with a left knee contusion, though he will give it a go Friday. The 34-year-old was able to put up shots during the cub's optional morning shootaround, and he will likely be in for his normal workload against the Jazz. Green tallied eight points (3-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 20 minutes in Wednesday's regular-season opener -- a blowout win over Portland.
Oct 25, 2024
Puts up shots before Friday's game
Green (knee) is still questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz, though he was able to participate in the Warriors' optional morning shootaround, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was able to put up shots Friday morning which bodes well for his status ahead of tipoff at 9:30 p.m. ET. The 34-year-old was impressive in Golden State's blowout win over Portland on Wednesday, during which he totaled eight points (3-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 20 minutes.
Oct 24, 2024
Considered questionable for Friday
Green is questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz due to a left knee contusion.
ANALYSIS
Green is one of three Golden State players who have been listed as questionable due to contusions for Friday's matchup, with Stephen Curry (knee) and De'Anthony Melton (chest) being the others. Green is one of the toughest players in the league, however, and while the questionable tag merits caution, he should be likely to play Friday.
Oct 16, 2024
Returns with double-double
Green logged 10 points (5-9 FG 0-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and two blocked shots across 26 minutes in Tuesday's 111-97 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
After taking a day off for rest, Green returned to the starting five and notched an impressive double-double. Although Green can't be counted on as a scoring option, his ancillary stats are elite. The veteran is a viable fantasy option in category leagues due to his consistent secondary output, but Green's potential for rest days during back-to-backs will limit his appeal.
Oct 14, 2024
Expected to return Tuesday
Green (rest) is expected to play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Lakers, Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Green didn't suit up for Sunday's preseason win over the Pistons after posting seven points (1-2 FG), two rebounds and an assist over 14 minutes during Friday's win over the Kings. Andrew Wiggins (illness) and Stephen Curry (finger) are also expected to suit up, but Bradin Podziemski won't play after suffering a broken nose.
Oct 13, 2024
Won't play Sunday
Green will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Pistons, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will get a night off Sunday after recording seven points (1-2 FG, 4-4 FT, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and an assist over 14 minutes of action Friday. Green's next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against the Lakers.
Apr 15, 2024
Cleared for Play-In Tournament
Green (knee) will play Tuesday versus Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Green and Stephen Curry (ankle) have both been removed from Monday's injury report, while Gary Payton (calf) is officially inactive. Malik Monk (knee) and Kevin Huerter (shoulder) represent notable absences for Sacramento, although there should still be no shortage of drama, as three of Golden State's four regular-season meetings versus the Kings this year were decided by exactly one point.
Apr 15, 2024
Expected to play Tuesday
Green (knee) is expected to play Tuesday against the Kings, Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Green missed the season finale with a right knee bruise, but it was likely a precaution. There should be another update Monday evening or early Tuesday, but fantasy managers can expect Green to carry a probable tag at worst following this update.
Apr 14, 2024
Sitting for regular-season finale
Green (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Utah
ANALYSIS
Green and Stephen Curry (rest) will both look to recoup energy in advance of Golden State's upcoming Play-In Tournament appearance. The Warriors are currently tied with Sacramento for the ninth seed in the Western Conference.
Apr 13, 2024
Questionable for Sunday
Green is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jazz due to a right knee contusion.
ANALYSIS
Green has been bothered by a knee problem in the last few days, and it seems he'll be a true game-time call for the final game of the regular season. Green is averaging 6.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks per game since the beginning of April.
Apr 12, 2024
Gets green light
Green (knee) will play Friday against the Pelicans, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was added to the injury report as probable due to a knee injury after missing Thursday's matchup, and he's feeling healthy enough to suit up Friday. He's averaging 8.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks over his last five games.
Apr 12, 2024
Likely to play Friday
Green (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Green missed Thursday's game against Portland but should return following a minimal absence. He's posted double-doubles in two of his last six appearances, averaging 10.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 2.5 steals in 29.8 minutes per game.
Apr 11, 2024
Ruled out for Thursday's game
Green (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Green hasn't missed a game since March 13, but he'll be unavailable for the first half of a back-to-back set due to his knee injury. Jonathan Kuminga, Andrew Wiggins and Gary Payton (calf) could see increased playing time against Portland.
Apr 10, 2024
Iffy against Portland
Green is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Trail Blazers due to a right knee contusion.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear when Green suffered his knee injury, but he is now in danger of missing his first game since March 13 on Thursday. If the veteran forward is ruled out, Jonathan Kuminga will likely enter the starting lineup.
Apr 10, 2024
Logs double-double in victory
Green supplied 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and one block across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 134-120 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Anthony Davis' (head) absence allowed Green plenty of room to get going, and the defensive dynamo took his turn at the perimeter amid the team's three-point barrage. All of Green's shot attempts were beyond the arc, and he added five bombs to The Warriors' total of 26 threes against the Lakers. Trayce Jackson-Davis' presence has allowed to get Green out of the paint more often, but the team may revert back to Jonathan Kuminga at the four as he gets back up to speed, thus limiting Green's ability to score.
Apr 8, 2024
Will play Tuesday
Green (back) isn't listed on Golden State's injury report for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green left Sunday's win over Utah in the third quarter due to an apparent back injury, but he should full go Tuesday. Over his last 13 appearances, Green has averaged 7.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.7 steals in 27.8 minutes per game.
Apr 7, 2024
Doesn't return to Sunday's game
Green didn't return to Sunday's game against the Jazz after exiting in the third quarter due to an apparent back injury. Prior to his departure, he totaled three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block in 21 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green returned to the Warriors' bench area shortly after leaving the game, but he didn't return to the court in the final quarter of the win over Utah. It's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time, but his next chance to suit up will be Tuesday against the Lakers.
Apr 7, 2024
Sustains apparent back injury
Green went to the locker room in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Jazz due to an apparent back injury, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green appeared to be grabbing near his lower back as he headed toward the locker room Sunday, but the severity of his injury isn't yet clear. However, he returned to the bench area a few minutes later. The Warriors built up a sizable first-half lead, so even if Green returns to Sunday's game, the team could monitor his workload down the stretch.
Apr 1, 2024
Dominant on defense in win
Green logged 21 points (8-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists, one block and six steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 117-113 victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Green wasn't able to completely contain Victor Wembanyama, but he did better than most as he kept the rookie from recording a double-double. The veteran also enjoyed his second-best scoring total of the season in the win. In a season rife with conflict, it's time for Green to give the Warriors his best as they push for a playoff spot.
Mar 27, 2024
Ejected Wednesday
Green was ejected early in the first quarter of Wednesday's game against in Orlando, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Green picked up a technical after his teammate Stephen Curry was called for a foul, and received another during the subsequent timeout. This will mark Green's first ejection since he returned from a 16-game suspension. While he is sidelined, some combination of Gary Payton, Andrew Wiggins and Dario Saric are candidates to absorb his minutes.
Mar 22, 2024
Available and starting
Green (back) has been cleared to play Friday against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Green was handed a probable designation due to back soreness, but the issue won't force him to miss any time. He's coming off a strong double-double Wednesday night against the Grizzlies (10 points and 12 rebounds).
Mar 21, 2024
Probable against Indiana
Green is probable for Friday's game against the Pacers with lower back soreness.
ANALYSIS
Green is a little banged up and has been for a while, but it sounds like he will continue to power through. He's coming off a strong showing against the Grizzlies on Wednesday, as he finished with 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 24 minutes.
Mar 21, 2024
Teases triple-double in win
Green ended Wednesday's 137-116 victory over Memphis with 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 24 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The double-double was just his seventh of the season, although Green did come a handful of assists away from his second triple-double. The veteran center is producing his usual numbers when he's managed to stay on the court this season, and through nine games in March he's averaging 7.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks.
Mar 20, 2024
Good to go against Memphis
Green (back) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Green has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday despite dealing with back soreness. He is averaging 6.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.5 assists in 27.7 minutes across his last 10 appearances.
Mar 20, 2024
Expected to play Wednesday
Coach Steve Kerr expects Green (back) to play in Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is officially listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies. However, the 33-year-old forward is expected to play in his third straight contest.
Mar 19, 2024
Iffy for Wednesday
Green (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Green continues to deal with low back soreness but has played back-to-back games after missing a March 13 loss in Dallas due to the issue. If the defensive-minded forward is sidelined again, rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis could draw another start.
Mar 16, 2024
Will play Saturday
Green (back) will play Saturday against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green is all set to return after being held out of Wednesday's game versus Dallas. Coach Steve Kerr didn't mention any restrictions for Green ahead of tipoff. The forward is averaging 7.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals through six March appearances.
Mar 15, 2024
Iffy for Saturday
Green (back) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green's back soreness held him out of Wednesday's game versus Dallas, but he was able to play in the game prior despite the injury. He remains day-to-day, and it sounds like it could be something he'll have to manage for a bit. If he's unable to play Saturday, Trayce Jackson-Davis, Kevon Looney and Dario Saric would be the candidates to soak up frontcourt minutes.
Mar 13, 2024
Ruled out Wednesday
Green (back) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Green has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday due to lower back soreness. Trayce Jackson-Davis, Kevon Looney and Dario Saric are all candidates to receive increased playing time in the frontcourt. Green's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Lakers.
Mar 13, 2024
Late addition to injury report
Green (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Green is a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign. If the defensive-minded forward is sidelined, more minutes will be available for Trayce Jackson-Davis, Kevon Looney, Dario Saric and Gary Payton.
Mar 11, 2024
Will play vs. Spurs
Green (back) has been cleared to play Monday against San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Green was added to the injury report as probable due to back soreness, so his availability is no surprise. He's averaging 8.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.4 blocks through five March appearances.
Mar 10, 2024
Dealing with back soreness
Green is probable for Monday's game against the Spurs due to back soreness.
ANALYSIS
Green has played in 24 straight games since returning from suspension, and that streak likely won't end Monday. Since the All-Star break (10 contests), Green has averaged 7.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.1 blocks in 25.3 minutes per game.
Mar 8, 2024
Delivers triple-double
Green accumulated 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and one steal over 33 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 125-122 loss to Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Green posted his first triple-double of the season, and while that outcome is far less common to occur compared to previous years, there's no question Green remains a player who's more than capable of getting it done on both ends of the court with ease. The lack of scoring limits his fantasy upside, but Green remains a player worth having rostered across all formats due to his stat-filling ability. Over his last 10 games, Green is averaging 9.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.
Feb 24, 2024
Leads team with 13 rebounds
Green logged five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 13 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 21 minutes during Friday's 97-84 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Green's shot volume was low, but he was a stalwart defensive presence in the paint. There are several players vying for time on the Warriors' roster, and although certain matchups require more size, Green has the ability to slide over to the four in certain circumstances. Green's 13 boards marked his second-best rebound total of the season.
Feb 16, 2024
All-around performance in win
Green ended with 23 points (9-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists, two blocks and four steals over 29 minutes during Thursday's 140-137 victory over Utah.
ANALYSIS
Green recorded a season-high 23 points and four steals during Thursday's win over the Jazz. The veteran forward has found his touch from outside recently, converting 46.7 percent of his 3.0 three-point attempts per contest over his previous five appearances. Green's surge in play has coincided with the Warriors winning eight of their last 10 games.
Feb 14, 2024
Cleared to return
Green (head) passed concussion protocols and can return to Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green briefly went to the locker room after taking an elbow from Ivica Zubac to the chin area. However, after getting checked for a concussion, he has been given the green light to retake the floor.
Feb 14, 2024
Heads to locker room
Green went to the locker room after taking an elbow to the face from Ivica Zubac, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After the contact to the chin, Green went to the ground and immediately went to the locker room following the stoppage of play. While he's off the floor, Dario Saric and Kevon Looney are candidates for more work. Green should be considered questionable to return.
Feb 13, 2024
Sniffs triple-double in win
Green finished Monday's 129-107 victory over the Jazz with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal in 23 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green delivered a vintage performance Monday, hitting timely shots and finishing just one board and two dimes away from a double-double while logging only 23 minutes. Green scored in double digits for the second game in a row, but he holds a secondary role on offense, and his fantasy upside is tied to his ability to fill the stat sheet rather than lighting up the scoring column. On that note, Green is averaging 8.9 points, 8.7 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game since returning to the starting lineup nine games ago.
Feb 8, 2024
Available to play Thursday
Green (knee) is available to play against the Pacers on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Green has been dealing with a nagging right knee contusion, but as has been the case of late, he's expected to play through it. Green is averaging 7.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game since returning from suspension.
Feb 8, 2024
Expected to play Thursday
Green (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Green continues to deal with a right knee contusion but is expected to play through it Thursday. Since returning from his suspension, the veteran forward is shooting 48.2 percent from the field and 36.8 percent from three.
Feb 7, 2024
Officially cleared to play
Green (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Green has been cleared to play despite being listed as questionable with a right knee contusion. He's started five straight games, averaging 8.2 points, 9.6 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.8 blocks in 33.6 minutes during that stretch.
Feb 7, 2024
Likely to suit up
Coach Steve Kerr said he expects Green (knee) to play in Wednesday's game versus the 76ers, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is officially listed as questionable due to a right knee contusion but is expected to play through it Wednesday. The veteran forward will likely continue to start at center if he's upgraded to available.
Feb 6, 2024
Listed questionable for Wednesday
Green is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to a right knee contusion.
ANALYSIS
Green has appeared in eight consecutive contests (five straight starts) following his suspension, but his status is in doubt for the first half of Golden State's upcoming back-to-back set. If he's sidelined, Kevon Looney, Dario Saric and Trayce Jackson-Davis would be candidates for increased roles.
Feb 3, 2024
Records well-rounded stat line
Green supplied nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 12 rebounds, six assists and three blocks across 28 minutes during Friday's 121-101 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Green has been a valuable fantasy asset for many years due to his ability to contribute across multiple categories, and he played that role again Friday, finishing one point and four dimes shy of a triple-double. The veteran forward's three blocks also led all players in the contest and marked a new season high. Fantasy managers are well aware that Green isn't going to produce consistent scoring -- he's reached double-digit points just once over his past seven games -- but he's one of the few players in the NBA who puts up big enough marks elsewhere to remain a must-roster player despite low point production.
Feb 2, 2024
Starting Friday
Green (knee) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Memphis, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was carrying a probable tag prior to this update, but the veteran will play through the contusion. The veteran has been playing really well recently, posting averages of 8.5 points, 7.8 assists, 7.3 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.3 blocks over his last four games.
Feb 1, 2024
Likely to play against Memphis
Green is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Grizzlies due to a right knee contusion.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear when Green suffered his knee injury, but it isn't expected to keep him out of Friday's contest. Green has started at center in each of Golden State's last two outings.
Jan 28, 2024
Double-double in 2OT loss
Green accumulated eight points (4-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), 14 rebounds, 11 assists, two blocks and three steals over 46 minutes during Saturday's 145-144 double-overtime loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
It was a vintage Green double-double, as he did everything but supply offense. The 33-year-old was making his first start since returning from his month-long suspension, and the 14 boards were a season high. While the rest of his game is just beginning to return, Green's made his usual defensive impact with four blocks and nine steals in four games since his return.
Jan 27, 2024
Returns to starting lineup
Green will start Saturday's game against the Lakers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green had come off the bench in all three games since coming back from suspension, but he'll make his return to the first unit Saturday. His workload jumped up to 31 minutes in the Warriors' latest game, meaning Green is up to speed after the lengthy absence.
Jan 24, 2024
Continues to come off bench
Green isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will come off the bench in his second game back from suspension. The veteran forward logged 24 minutes in his previous outing and will likely work his way back into the starting lineup in Golden State's next few contests.
Jan 18, 2024
Friday's game postponed
Green and the Warriors won't play against the Mavericks on Friday as the game was postponed due to the passing of Golden State assistant coach Dejan Milojevic.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors will have their second straight game postponed Friday due to the unexpected passing of Milojevic early Wednesday morning. No make-up date against Dallas has been announced yet, but the Warriors' next scheduled game is Wednesday's matchup with the Hawks.
Jan 17, 2024
Matchup against Utah postponed
Green and the Warriors won't play Wednesday against the Jazz since the game was postponed due to a medical emergency within the Golden State coaching staff.
ANALYSIS
Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojevic was hospitalized due to a medical emergency Tuesday night, and Wednesday's game has been called off as a result. It's not yet clear when the game will be made up, but the Warriors' next scheduled game is now Friday against Dallas.
Jan 15, 2024
Coming off bench in return
Green isn't starting Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green served as a starter during his first 15 appearances of the season, but he's missed the last 16 games due to a suspension and subsequent conditioning concerns. Since he's spent the last few days working on his conditioning, it isn't a major surprise to see him come off the bench Monday, and it's certainly possible he faces a minutes restriction. Before his absence, Green averaged 9.7 points, 5.8 assists and 5.5 rebounds in 25.1 minutes per game over 15 appearances.
Jan 14, 2024
Not on Monday's injury report
Green (conditioning/coach's decision) isn't on the injury report for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Green was expected to return to action Monday following a 16-game absence due to a suspension and subsequent conditioning concerns, and he's officially been cleared from the Warriors' injury report. Barring a late change of plans, he should suit up against Memphis, although it's possible he faces some restrictions during his first few games back.
Jan 14, 2024
Expected to return Monday
Green (conditioning/coach's decision) is expected to play Monday against the Grizzlies, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After being reinstated following a 12-game suspension, Green has missed four straight games to regain his conditioning. Coach Steve Kerr hinted at Green returning earlier next week, so this news isn't completely surprising, and the defensive-minded forward's official availability likely won't be known until a few hours before the 6 p.m. ET tipoff.
Jan 13, 2024
Could return next week
Warriors' head coach Steve Kerr said there's "a chance" Green (coach's decision) returns early next week, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Kerr said Green could play either against the Grizzlies or Jazz, the final two games of Golden State's current road trip. The veteran forward has not seen action since Dec. 12, and his return would provide a massive boost for the Warriors on the defensive end. He remains a serviceable fantasy asset in category-based leagues as well.
Jan 13, 2024
Won't play against Milwaukee
Green (conditioning) is listed as out for Saturday's game versus the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss another game Saturday after being reinstated from his suspension due to returning to competition conditioning. Dario Saric and Johnathan Kuminga should continue to receive increased minutes in his absence. Green's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Memphis.
Jan 11, 2024
Remains out Friday
Green (conditioning) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Green was reinstated from his suspension by the NBA on Sunday, but he's remained sidelined since them while working on his conditioning. He took an encouraging step by fully participating in Tuesday's practice session, but he isn't yet ready to return to game action. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to suit up.
Jan 9, 2024
Full go at practice
Green (coach's decision) was a full participant at Tuesday's practice and will partake in each practice this week, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Geen was reinstated by the NBA on Sunday following an indefinite suspension that lasted 12 games. However, he wasn't practicing during the suspension, so he'll need the week to practice and regain his conditioning. His return will be a major boost, especially given Chris Paul's indefinite absence following surgery on his fractured left hand.
Jan 6, 2024
Reinstated by NBA
Green (suspension) has been officially reinstated by the NBA.
ANALYSIS
Green was suspended by the NBA after striking Jusuf Nurkic on Dec. 12, and he has missed the past 12 games for the Warriors. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that Green will need about a week to ramp up for a return, so it sounds like the earliest he could play is Jan. 12 against Chicago. His return will be a big boost to the Warriors, as they could use his playmaking ability with Chris Paul sidelined by a left hand fracture.
Jan 4, 2024
Nearing ramp-up process
Green (suspension) is expected to return to the Warriors' facility in the coming days to begin ramping up, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Green is in the midst of an indefinite suspension that stemmed from an altercation with Jusuf Nurkic in mid-December. The suspension was initially expected to last between 11 and 13 games, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the forward require slightly more time before returning to game action so he can ramp up. Green has faced a pair of multi-game suspensions early in the 2023-24 campaign but has been participating in virtual meetings and individual counseling sessions during his current suspension. While a specific date for Green's return isn't yet clear, it's possible he's back on the court for the Warriors sometime next week.
Dec 26, 2023
Suspension may last 11 to 13 games
Green has been participating in periodic virtual meetings designed to chart his progress toward reinstatement from his indefinite suspension, and there's a general belief among those involved in the process that the four-time All-Star's ban could cover a range of 11 to 13 games, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Wojnarowski notes that Green's eventual reinstatement will hinge on him continuing to satisfy the markers of progress in those virtual meetings, in addition to the individual counseling sessions he's required to take part in since receiving the indefinite suspension Dec. 13. Green has been described as "open and engaged" in the aftermath of the suspension, and if he takes no backward steps in the counseling process and the 11-to-13-game range proves to be accurate, he could be eligible to play as soon as Jan. 5. While he's under the suspension, Green is allowed to take part in conditioning work and can practice with the Warriors, but it may not be back until next week that he's at the team facility on a full-time basis. The NBA imposed the suspension after Green was ejected for the third time in 15 appearances on the season after he was deemed to have intentionally punched Phoenix's Jusuf Nurkic in a Dec. 12 loss.
Dec 18, 2023
Out at least three weeks
Green, who is suspended indefinitely by the NBA, has started counseling and is expected to miss at least three weeks of action, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The NBA announced Green's indefinite suspension on Dec. 13 after his altercation with Jusuf Nurkic, citing his repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts. With Green expected to miss roughly three weeks of action, the earliest potential return would be Jan. 10 against the Pelicans. In the meantime, the Warriors will continue to rely on guys like Jonathan Kuminga, Trayce Jackson-Davis and Kevon Looney to pick up the slack.
Dec 13, 2023
Suspended indefinitely
The NBA announced Wednesday that Green has been suspended indefinitely for striking Jusuf Nurkic in the face during Tuesday's game against the Suns. Green will be required to meet certain league and team conditions before he returns to play.
ANALYSIS
Green has now been suspended due to a flagrant foul for the second time this season. Due to his prior history, the veteran forward's punishment will almost certainly be longer than the five games he served for putting Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert in a headlock on Nov. 14. While there's no timetable for his return, it wouldn't be surprising for Green to be suspended until at least the beginning of 2024. Kevon Looney, Dario Saric, Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis are all candidates to receive extended minutes in his absence.
Dec 12, 2023
Tossed from another game
Green was assessed for a Flagrant 2 foul and ejected from Tuesday's game versus the Suns with 8:23 remaining in the third quarter after swinging his right hand at Jusuf Nurkic, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green tallied two points, two rebounds and two assists in 17 minutes before being ejected from Tuesday's contest. The veteran forward has now been tossed from his third game this season. Due to the dangerous nature of Green's strike towards Nurkic's face and his previous history, a league office review could lead to another suspension.
Dec 9, 2023
Double-doubles in loss
Green ended with 12 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, 13 assists and one block across 35 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 138-136 overtime loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Green handed out a season-high 13 assists, recording his second double-double of the season. While his offensive contributions have been serviceable of late, he has now recorded a total of one steal in his past nine games. He is doing enough to be rostered in all formats but managers would love to see some more from him on the defensive end of the floor.
Dec 1, 2023
Modest production in win
Green amassed 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 29 minutes during Thursday's 120-114 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Making his second appearance following a five-game suspension, Green delivered modest production and failed to register a tally in either defensive category. The defensive-minded forward was limited to start the regular season due to an ankle injury he suffered during training camp but appears full go as he's played 33 and 29 minutes, respectively, in the last two games. On the season, Green is averaging fewer rebounds, assists, blocks and steals per game than last season, but he's scoring 9.1 points per game, which would be his highest mark since 2017-18.
Nov 28, 2023
Set to return Tuesday
Green (suspension) isn't listed on the Warriors' injury report for Tuesday's matchup versus the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Green has missed the Warriors' past five games while serving a suspension due to an on-court scuffle with Rudy Gobert on Nov. 14, but he's slated to return to Golden State's starting lineup Tuesday. Before the incident, Green appeared in eight of the team's first 11 matchups, averaging 9.9 points, 6.4 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals-plus-blocks in 24.9 minutes per game. Green's minutes were being monitored due to an ankle injury he suffered at the beginning of training camp, but given the extra time off recently, it wouldn't be surprising to see the defensive-minded forward playing closer to 30 minutes a night moving forward.
Nov 15, 2023
Handed five game suspension
Green was given a five-game suspension for his role in an on-court scuffle during Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was ejected from Tuesday's tilt -- marking his second removal of the last three games -- after wrapping his arm around Rudy Gobert's neck and keeping it there for several seconds as others attempted to pull the two apart. As a repeat offender, the NBA has decided to suspend him for five contests. His suspension will begin with Thursday's game against the Thunder and will end on Nov. 24, making a Nov. 28 bout with the Kings his first opportunity to play. In his stead, expect Jonathan Kuminga, Dario Saric and Trayce Jackson-Davis to see more action.
Nov 14, 2023
Ejected yet again
Green was called for a Flagrant 2 foul and has been ejected with 10:17 remaining in the first quarter of Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Green received his Flagrant foul for wrapping his arm around Rudy Gobert's neck in an altercation that saw Klay Thompson and Jaden McDaniels also get ejected. Green has now been ejected from two of Golden State's last three contests. Kevon Looney, Dario Saric and Jonathan Kuminga will likely receive increased minutes in his absence.
Nov 12, 2023
Ejected in loss
Green finished with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists over 18 minutes before getting ejected from Saturday's 118-110 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Green picked up a second technical foul midway through the third quarter after shoving Donovan Mitchell in transition, which led to his early exit from Saturday's loss. Green will get a quick return to action Sunday against Minnesota as the Warriors close a back-to-back set.
Nov 10, 2023
Good to go Saturday
Green (personal) is available for Saturday's game versus Cleveland, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will return to action Saturday after missing Golden State's previous game due to a personal matter. The 33-year-old forward will likely replace Dario Saric in the starting lineup against the Cavaliers.
Nov 10, 2023
Returns to practice
Green (personal) participated in Friday's practice session, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green missed Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to a personal matter, but it's encouraging to see him back at practice a few days later. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Saturday's game against Cleveland, but he seems to be trending in the right direction.
Nov 8, 2023
Won't play Wednesday
Green (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Green is tending to a personal matter that will force him to miss at least one game, but the Warriors have a few days off before Saturday's game against Cleveland. Jonathan Kuminga, Dario Saric and Trayce Jackson-Davis should see increased run in Green's absence.
Nov 7, 2023
Questionable for Wednesday
Green is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to personal reasons.
ANALYSIS
Green is apparently tending to a personal matter and may not play Wednesday. If that's the case, Jonathan Kuminga, Dario Saric and Trayce Jackson-Davis would be candidates for increased roles in the frontcourt.
Nov 7, 2023
Strong all-around effort
Green contributed six points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and eight assists over 28 minutes during Monday's 120-109 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Green didn't have his best scoring performance and was limited to just four shots, so it wouldn't be surprising if he keeps the scoring figures relatively low, especially since he shares the court with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins reasonably often. Green's value exceeds the box score, as his elite defense and playmaking hold this team together. Ultimately, Green doesn't have a lot of fantasy upside outside of deep formats. However, he can be a serviceable player in category-based leagues due to his ability to stuff the stat sheet regularly.
Nov 6, 2023
Available against Detroit
Green (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Pistons, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was probable for Monday's matchup but will be able to suit up for the second half of the Warriors' back-to-back set after playing 29 minutes Sunday against the Cavaliers. He's scored in double figures in three consecutive appearances, averaging 15.3 points, 6.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks in 28.7 minutes per game.
Nov 6, 2023
Questionable for Monday
Green (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set. Green played 29 minutes on Sunday and put together his best game of the season, scoring 18 points with eight assists, three rebounds, one block and three steals. If his ankle is too sore to play Monday, we could see more of Kevon Looney and Jonathan Kuminga.
Nov 5, 2023
Flirts with double-double in loss
Green closed with 18 points (5-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, one block and three steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 115-104 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Green did a little bit of everything in Sunday's loss to Cleveland, handing out a team-high assist total while leading the team in steals and finishing second in scoring in the loss. Green has picked up his scoring abilities as of late, reaching double figures in three straight outings while dishing out eight or more assists with two or more steals in two of those contests.
Nov 2, 2023
Sniffs double-double
Green closed with 13 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and two steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 102-101 win over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
You can always count on Green to deliver in multiple categories, and he delivered with good numbers in every major category during the win. His best numbers through three games have come as a ball distributor. He's collected a whopping 21 assists since his debut.
Oct 31, 2023
All-around outing despite banged up
Green ended with six points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, seven assists and one block in 22 minutes during Monday's 130-102 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Green was probable coming into Monday's game while dealing with an ankle injury, but managed to take the court while displaying a balanced performance in a win over New Orleans. Green led all Golden State players in assists while posting his second straight game of at least four points, five rebounds and five assists.
Oct 30, 2023
Cleared to play
Green (ankle) is available and starting Monday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Green was listed as probable for Monday's clash earlier in the day, so this latest update comes as no surprise. He logged 21 minutes in his season debut Sunday and could be on a similar restriction Monday evening as he continues to work back from an ankle injury that forced him to miss Golden State's first two games of the campaign.
Oct 30, 2023
Probable Monday
Green (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green just returned from his ankle injury Sunday night and seemed fine in 21 minutes, and the Warriors slapping him with a probable tag for the second leg of the back-to-back is not a huge surprise. Assuming he plays, the Warriors will likely keep his minutes in check.
Oct 30, 2023
Plays 21 minutes in return
Green registered four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 21 minutes during Sunday's 106-95 victory over Houston.
ANALYSIS
Green looked relatively solid considering he missed the opening two games of the season, but it's clear that he's still getting his legs under him. It will be interesting to see how the Warriors handle his minutes Monday against the Pelicans for the second leg of the back-to-back.
Oct 29, 2023
Starting in return
Green is starting Sunday's game against the Rockets, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green missed the first two games of the season with an ankle injury but will be available Sunday with a minutes limit. Despite his restrictions, he'll join the starting lineup against Houston while Chris Paul comes off the bench.
Oct 29, 2023
Available with minutes restriction
Green (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Rockets but will have a minutes restriction, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was probable ahead of Sunday's matchup and will officially be able to make his season debut after missing the first two games of the season. However, coach Steve Kerr said that the 33-year-old will be on a minutes limit. Kevon Looney could continue to see an uptick in minutes while Green is limited.
Oct 28, 2023
Says he'll play Sunday
Green (ankle) said he will play in Sunday's game versus the Rockets, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will make his season debut Sunday after missing the first two games of the season with an ankle injury. The veteran forward also said he wants to play in Monday's game versus the Pelicans, but the Warriors could play it cautiously on the second leg of a back-to-back. Green will likely replace Kevon Looney in the starting lineup.
Oct 25, 2023
Remains out against Sacramento
Green (ankle) won't play in Friday's game versus the Kings, Mark Willard of 95.7 The Game reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss his second straight game to start the season due to an ankle injury. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said the veteran forward could return to action at some point in the team's road trip, leaving his next chance to suit up Sunday's matchup with Houston. Kevon Looney will likely continue to start in Green's absence.
Oct 23, 2023
Ruled out Tuesday
Green (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Suns, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green sustained a left ankle sprain during an offseason workout and was forced to miss the entire preseason. Although he's been ruled out for Opening Night, he participated in portions of Monday's practice session and was cleared for 5-on-5 work Sunday. While Green is progressing in his recovery, the Warriors will exercise caution and give him more time to rehab and work on his conditioning before he's cleared for game action. Kevon Looney and Dario Saric will likely see increased playing time against Phoenix.
Oct 22, 2023
Cleared for 5-on-5
The Warriors announced Sunday that Green (ankle) has been cleared to do 5-on-5 drills.
ANALYSIS
Green missed the entire preseason schedule after spraining his left ankle during an offseason workout, but he's getting close to full strength ahead of Opening Night. The defensive-minded forward's availability should become clearer Monday when the Warriors release their first official injury report of the season.
Oct 17, 2023
Cleared for light workouts
Green (ankle) was cleared to partake in workouts Tuesday and will be re-evaluated Sunday, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green's timeline sets him up for re-evaluation two days before the regular season opener against Phoenix on Oct. 24. The 33-year-old will continue ramping up activity in the meantime, but he'll miss the remainder of preseason action.
Oct 13, 2023
To be re-evaluated Monday
Green was spotted getting a workout in following Friday's morning shootaround and is scheduled to be re-evaluated Monday, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
It looked like Green was simply getting some shots up during his workout, but it's still encouraging to see him participating in basketball activities already. The defensive-minded forward sprained his ankle ahead of training camp and was expected to miss 3-6 weeks, but the Warriors have been adamant Green will be ready for the regular-season opener against the Suns on Oct. 24.
Oct 7, 2023
Likely ready for regular season
The Warriors expect Green (ankle) to be miss the team's first three preseasons games but are confident he'll be available for the team's regular-season opener against the Suns on Oct. 24, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green suffered a left ankle sprain that will keep him out for the first three games of the preseason but could return for the Warriors' fourth preseason game against Sacramento on Oct. 18. Regardless if he suits up at all this preseason, it appears that the veteran forward is not set to miss any regular-season action.
Oct 2, 2023
Diagnosed with ankle sprain
The Warriors announced Monday that Green has been diagnosed with a left ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green sustained his ankle injury ahead of training camp and is expected to miss approximately 3-6 weeks. He'll at least be sidelined for the start of the preseason, and it's possible he's forced to miss some time to begin the regular season. Kevon Looney will likely have a chance to step into a starting role in Green's absence.
Sep 30, 2023
Suffers ankle injury
Green sprained his left ankle earlier this week and will be out for 3-6 weeks, Jason Dumas of Bleacher Report reports.
ANALYSIS
Green's ankle injury will likely keep him out for the entire preseason and could cause him to miss the Warriors' season opener on Oct. 24 against the Suns. Kevon Looney will likely start at center in his absence.
Jun 30, 2023
Re-signs with Golden State
The Warriors signed Green to a four-year, $100 million contract on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
This should come as no surprise, as Green has spent all 11 years of his career in Golden State and has won four championships with the franchise. The 2016-17 Defensive Player of the Year averaged 8.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 31.5 minutes across 73 games in 2022-23. While Green may not score a lot of points, his overall impact on the game makes him a crucial part of the Warriors' dynasty as well as a viable fantasy option.
Jun 19, 2023
Declines player option
Green has declined his $27.5 million player option for the 2023-24 season and will become an unrestricted free agent, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green spent the first 11 years of his career with Golden State, and he's been a steady contributor when healthy in recent seasons. He made 73 appearances during the 2022-23 campaign and averaged 8.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists in 31.5 minutes per game. The 33-year-old will now seek out other opportunities during the offseason, but coach Steve Kerr has expressed interest in bringing Green back to the Warriors, so it's possible he decides to sign a new contract with the team at some point.

May 13, 2023
Doubtful to return
Green is considered doubtful to return to Friday's Game 6 against the Lakers due to right calf tightness, Madeline Kenney of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
With the Lakers having a significant lead, it is not surprising that the Warriors are going in this direction with Green. The big man's night will likely come to an end with nine points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3PT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block across 24 minutes.
May 11, 2023
Offensive explosion Wednesday
Green ended with 20 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 121-106 win over the Lakers in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Green erupted for 20 points in the win, a sneaky bonus for anyone still dabbling in the fantasy realm. From a real-life perspective, the Warriors would have been thrilled with his points production, an element of his game they certainly don't rely upon. The Warriors will now head to Los Angeles for Game 6, a game which they must win to keep their title hopes alive.
May 5, 2023
Flirts with triple-double
Green finished with 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Thursday's 127-100 victory over the Lakers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Green came one assist away from notching his first triple-double of the postseason, and he likely could've reached that plateau if the game had been closer. The former Defensive Player of the Year was one of the few starters to remain on the court to begin the fourth quarter, but he was quickly subbed out as the game devolved into a blowout. Green, who shifted to center Thursday with Kevon Looney (illness) not at 100 percent, also played superb defense on Anthony Davis and held the superstar center in check after he dominated in Game 1.
Apr 30, 2023
Back in starting lineup
Green will start Sunday's Game 7 against the Kings, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
After a major letdown at home in Game 6, the Warriors are reverting back to their standard starting lineup with Green flanked by Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Kevon Looney. In his first two starts of the series, Green averaged 6.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.5 steals in 32.0 minutes per game.
Apr 27, 2023
Solid output off bench
Green chipped in 21 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-8 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and four steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 123-116 victory over the Kings in Game 5 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
Green came off the bench for the second game in a row and thrived once again, ending as one of Golden State's top-scoring threats while making an impact defensively and as a playmaker. He's expected to continue coming off the bench until further notice, but Green will remain valuable in most fantasy formats if he keeps playing like this while logging 30-plus minutes.
Apr 24, 2023
Productive in return
Green closed Sunday's 126-125 win over Sacramento in Game 4 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 12 points (3-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green returned to the lineup Sunday after serving a one-game suspension. Surprisingly, the coaching staff opted to bring Green off the bench, sticking with Jordan Poole in the starting unit. Despite the bench role, Green closed the game, notching a double-double to go with arguably the play of the game. With time running out, Green produced his only block of the contest, turning away a close-range shot by Domantas Sabonis.
Apr 23, 2023
Will come off bench in return
Green won't start Sunday's Game 4 against the Kings, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was suspended for Golden State's Game 3 win for his antics in Game 2, and he'll receive a demotion during his return to action. Despite coming off the bench, Green figures to still play a prominent role Sunday and will presumably be the primary defender on Domantas Sabonis during key moments. The defensive-minded forward averaged 6.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 32.0 minutes per game during the first two matchups of the opening-round series.
Apr 18, 2023
Suspended for Game 3
Green has been suspended for Game 3 of the Western Conference First Round for "stepping on the chest of Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis".
ANALYSIS
Green will miss Game 3 due to an altercation with Sabonis in Game 2. Green played 33 and 31 minutes in the first two contests of the series, and will be a major loss to a Warriors team already down 2-0. Jonathan Kuminga, Kevon Looney and Jamychal Green are candidates to receive extended minutes in his absence.
Apr 18, 2023
Unlikely to be suspended
Green (ankle) is unlikely to be suspended for his part in the altercation with Domantas Sabonis (ribs) during Monday's Game 2 loss to the Kings, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was ejected from the contest after stepping on Sabonis, who appeared to grab Green's ankle while on the floor after fighting for an offensive rebound. Golden State's star defender has averaged 6.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.5 steals in 32.0 minutes over the first two games of the series, and with the Warriors in an 0-2 hole, losing Green for a game could be catastrophic. While it doesn't appear like Green will be suspended, it's possible he winds up on Golden State's official injury report after he requested an X-ray on his right ankle following Monday's loss.
Apr 18, 2023
Gets X-ray on right ankle
Green requested an X-ray on his right ankle following the Warriors' 114-106 loss to the Kings on Monday in Game 1 of the Western Conference first-round playoff matchup, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
According to Spears, Green experienced soreness in his ankle, which he believes occurred when Kings big man Domantas Sabonis appeared to grab at the ankle while falling to the floor in the fourth quarter. Green responded by stomping Sabonis on the sternum, resulting in the former's ejection with 7:03 remaining in the period. The ankle issue is unlikely to be one that prevents Green from playing in Thursday's Game 3 at Chase Center, but the four-time All-Star could be at risk of a suspension while the NBA reviews his flagrant foul on Sabonis. Before his ejection, Green finished the night with eight points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal in 31 minutes.
Apr 16, 2023
Solid line in loss
Green contributed four points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, 11 assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 loss to the Kings in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
Green only scored four points but was pivotal in the secondary categories during the loss. He converted some highlight-worthy assists and was easily the most effective defensive force for the Warriors. Green has carried a heavy load on defense without Andrew Wiggins on the floor, but his return should help immensely in the interior. Green played 75 games in the regular season, averaging 8.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists. He also recorded a career-best field goal percentage of 52.7 percent.
Apr 5, 2023
Does it all in win
Green had 17 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 136-125 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Green finished two points shy of his season high, grabbed at least nine rebounds for a second straight game and dished out at least five assists for a 10th straight appearance. The former Defensive Player of the Year also recorded multiple tallies in each defensive category for the seventh time this season. Over his past nine appearances, Green has averaged 9.8 points, 7.9 assists, 6.9 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks in 32.8 minutes per game.
Mar 29, 2023
Grabs 13 rebounds in win
Green logged eight points (4-5 FG), six rebounds, 13 assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 120-109 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Green is known to rally the troops when the chips are down, and although that energy doesn't translate into fantasy numbers, Green was one of the most influential players on the court in Tuesday's win. He commanded the interior and contained Jonas Valanciunas effectively and connected with his playmakers by dishing the ball back out to the perimeter. His intangibles won't always translate to fantasy success, but his secondary numbers are almost always worth the investment.
Mar 28, 2023
Available to play Tuesday
Green (neck) is available to play Tuesday against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
This was the expectation, as Green was carrying a probable tag into this one. Look for him to see his usual workload Tuesday night.
Mar 27, 2023
Probable Tuesday
Green (neck) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
It's near the end of the regular-season and Green is a bit banged up, but it appears he will continue to push through the pain. Managers can expect to get official word on Green's status closer to Tuesday's tip.
Mar 23, 2023
Stuffs stat sheet in win
Green registered 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, four blocks and three steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 127-125 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Green scored in double figures for the second time over his last three contests and was a pest on the defensive end. He recorded three steals for the second time this month and swatted away a season-high four blocks. Green got off to a slow start to March defensively, but he's turned it on of late as the 2022-23 regular-season winds down.
Mar 22, 2023
Set to start against Dallas
Green (wrist) is available and in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Green has been upgraded from probable to available Wednesday due to right wrist soreness. The veteran forward will start alongside Kevon Looney in the frontcourt.
Mar 21, 2023
Likely to play Wednesday
Green is probable for Wednesday's game versus Dallas due to right wrist soreness.
ANALYSIS
It is unclear when Green picked up his wrist injury, but it isn't expected to keep him out of the lineup. The 32-year-old forward is averaging 7.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists in 33.0 minutes across his last five appearances.
Mar 18, 2023
Starting in return
Green (suspension) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game at Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Green returns from a one-game suspension and will jump straight into the lineup, sending Jonathan Kuminga to the bench. Green is averaging 9.3 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game in March.
Mar 15, 2023
Picks up 16th technical foul
Green was assessed his 16th technical foul of the season in Wednesday's game against the Clippers and will face a one-game suspension unless the foul is rescinded, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.
ANALYSIS
Green surpassed the league's regular season technical limit for the second year in a row and could face a one-game suspension. Although the foul could be redacted, Green is likely to be suspended for Friday's game against the Hawks. For the remainder of the regular season, Green will receive an additional single-game suspension for every second technical foul he commits, a situation worth monitoring for managers approaching the fantasy playoffs.
Mar 13, 2023
Cleared to play
Green (ankle) is starting Monday's game against the Suns, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was officially listed as probable due to a right ankle sprain, and the team has since confirmed that he'll take the court Monday night. He's averaging 10.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 6.7 assists through six March appearances.
Mar 12, 2023
Probable Monday
Green (ankle) is probable for Monday's matchup with the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Green tweaked his ankle during Saturday's win over the Bucks, but he was able to play through it and said after the game that he fully intended to play Monday. It looks like he'll power through the ankle issue and managers can expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to Monday's tip.
Mar 12, 2023
Plans to play through ankle sprain
Green said after Saturday's 125-116 win over the Bucks that he "100 percent" expects to play Monday against the Suns after suffering a sprained right ankle against Milwaukee, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green limped to the locker room midway through the third quarter after getting tangled with the Bucks' Jrue Holiday, but he checked back into the contest with 38.7 seconds remaining in the period. The 33-year-old big man ended up playing 36 minutes during the win, finishing with five points (2-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 13 rebounds and nine assists. Though Green acknowledged after the game that he expects the ankle to be sore Sunday, he noted that he's in no position to take games off while the 35-33 Warriors -- who currently sit one game ahead of the Timberwolves for seventh place in the Western Conference standings -- aim to avoid a spot in the Play-In Tournament. Consider him probable for Monday's game until the Warriors release an official injury report for the contest.
Mar 11, 2023
Returns to action Saturday
Green (ankle) has returned to Saturday's game against the Bucks, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
ANALYSIS
Shortly after being listed as questionable, Green was back in the mix, so it seems the ankle wasn't as severe as initially expected. He was visibly limping, however, so further tests might be needed once the game ends to see the actual extent of the potential injury.
Mar 11, 2023
Questionable to return Saturday
Green (ankle) is officially questionable to return Saturday against the Bucks, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Green returned to the bench shortly after heading to the locker room, but the Warriors have deemed him as questionable to return, so they're being cautious with him. Patrick Baldwin and JaMychal Green will be in line to earn additional minutes if Green doesn't step back on the court.
Mar 11, 2023
Heads to locker room Saturday
Green exited Saturday's game against the Bucks with an ankle injury, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Green went down and limped off the court, so this could rule him out for the rest of the contest, as the Warriors are not in a position to take too many risks with injuries. If he can't return, then Patrick Baldwin and JaMychal Green would be in line to earn additional minutes.
Mar 8, 2023
Dishes team-high 11 assists
Green provided 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, 11 assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 137-128 loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
All of Green's points came in the first and third quarters where he went a combined 5-of-7 from the field. The power forward played a major role as the facilitator throughout the contest, however, dishing out five dimes in the first half and six over the final two quarters to finish with a team-high 11 assists on the night.
Mar 7, 2023
Good to go against Thunder
Green (hand) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Green has been upgraded from probable to available with a hand injury he suffered against Portland. The 32-year-old forward is averaging 9.6 points, 8.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 28.2 minutes across his last five appearances.
Mar 6, 2023
Probable Tuesday
Green (left hand soreness) is probable for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Green tweaked his hand last Tuesday during the Warriors' matchup with the Trail Blazers, and he aggravated it again during Sunday's game in Los Angeles. However, it's an injury that Green intends to continue to power through, as it's mostly a pain tolerance issue. The Warriors don't have any back-to-back sets during Week 20, so barring a setback, Green should be available for all three games.
Mar 1, 2023
Near triple-double in return
Green (knee) provided 12 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 123-105 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Green returned from a two-game absence due to a knee injury and submitted one of his best overall performances of the season. He scored in double figures for just the fourth time across eight February appearances, finished with team highs in rebounds and assists and notched multiple tallies in each defensive category for just the fourth time all season. It appears the former Defensive Player of the Year has put the knee issue in the rearview mirror and should garner his usual role during the stretch run of the regular season.
Feb 28, 2023
Suiting up against Portland
Green (knee) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Green has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday after missing the previous two games with a right knee contusion. The former Defensive Player of the Year will likely replace Jonathan Kuminga in the starting lineup.
Feb 27, 2023
Expected to play Tuesday
Green (knee) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against Portland.
ANALYSIS
Green participated in practice Monday after his MRI came back clean and will likely return to game action Tuesday following back-to-back absences. His expected presence should push Jonathan Kuminga to a reserve role.
Feb 27, 2023
Questionable for Tuesday's contest
Head coach Steve Kerr said Green (knee) got positive results from his MRI and participated in Monday's light practice, but the forward's availability for Tuesday's contest remains to be determined, Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has missed back-to-back contests due to a knee contusion. His participation in practice is a positive sign, but he's still considered questionable for Golden State's next contest. If he's sidelined again, Jonathan Kuminga is expected to remain in the starting lineup.
Feb 26, 2023
Out Sunday
Green (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss a second straight game due to a right knee contusion. Andrew Wiggins (personal) also remains away from the team, so Donte DiVincenzo and Jonathan Kuminga figure to remain in the starting lineup. Green's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Trail Blazers.
Feb 25, 2023
Questionable Sunday
Green (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Timberwolves, source reports.
ANALYSIS
Green sat out Friday's win over the Rockets due to a bruised right knee, and the issue could keep him out Sunday. If he can't play, Jonathan Kuminga would presumably draw another start.
Feb 24, 2023
Downgraded to out
Green (knee) has been downgraded to out Friday against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Coach Steve Kerr previously upgraded Green from questionable to probable, so this will catch some fantasy managers off guard. With Green giving his knee some extra rest, we could see more of Jonathan Kuminga, Kevon Looney, JaMychal Green and Patrick Baldwin.
Feb 24, 2023
Likely to suit up against Houston
Coach Steve Kerr says Green (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game against the Rockets, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has been upgraded from questionable to probable Friday due to a right knee contusion. The star forward is averaging 8.2 points, 7.0 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 30.0 minutes across his last five appearances.
Feb 24, 2023
Questionable Friday
Green is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets due to a right knee contusion.
ANALYSIS
Green appeared in Thursday's loss to the Lakers and posted six points, 11 rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block in 25 minutes. He's dealing with a knee issue ahead of the second half of the back-to-back set, and Jonathan Kuminga and Patrick Baldwin would likely see additional run Friday if Green is unavailable.
Feb 15, 2023
Bounces back with 15 points
Green supplied 15 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, five rebounds and one steal across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 134-124 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Green was limited to a season-low 24 minutes in Monday's win over the Wizards while he was saddled with foul trouble, but his playing time bounced back along with his production in the second leg of the back-to-back set. Though he won't be much of a beneficiary while Stephen Curry (lower leg) is likely sidelined for at least a few more games, Green should continue to prove useful for fantasy managers while piling up rebounds and assists to go along with serviceable numbers in the steals and blocks columns. Fantasy managers should be wary of Green potentially missing a game down the road, however; he has accrued 15 technical fouls this season, and his next one will trigger an automatic one-game suspension.
Feb 14, 2023
Plays season-low 24 minutes
Green amassed four points (2-3 FG), six assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Monday's 135-126 win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Green played a season-low 24 minutes during Monday's win. He picked up his 15th technical right before halftime, which means his next one will result in a one-game suspension, and finished the contest with four fouls, so his reduced playing time can likely be attributed to foul trouble. On the season (51 games), the defensive-minded forward is averaging 8.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 1.7 steals-plus-blocks in 31.6 minutes per game. His lack of scoring certainly limits his overall fantasy potential, but his production in the peripheral statistics plus his strong field-goal percentage (51.4) makes him a strong play in category leagues.
Feb 12, 2023
Records sixth double-double
Green had 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals across 34 minutes during Saturday's 109-103 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Thanks to his multi-category excellence, Green is always a double-double threat, and he delivered enough points to reach that milestone alongside his 10 assists. Despite Green's seven rebounds, the Lakers dominated the boards with nine more rebounds, resulting in 16 second-chance points and 40 points in the paint.
Feb 7, 2023
Piles up defensive stats in win
Green supplied seven points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks across 28 minutes in Monday's 141-114 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
From a usage standpoint, Green didn't benefit in the first game of what's expected to be an extended absence for star guard Stephen Curry (lower leg), but the four-time All-Star continued to deliver value for fantasy managers with his production on the glass and in the defensive categories. The loss of Curry may result in Green seeing a mild uptick in assist opportunities over the long haul, but don't expect the 17-point performance the veteran forward delivered his last time out Saturday against Dallas to become the norm. Green will continue to defer to Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins on the offensive end while filling up the peripheral categories.
Feb 5, 2023
Flirts with triple-double
Green amassed 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and two blocks over 32 minutes during Saturday's 119-113 win over Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Green returned to the starting lineup after missing Thursday's game due to a calf injury. Green is usually a solid contributor in secondary categories, but he amped up his output as a scorer in Saturday's win. He matched a season-high three 3-pointers and came close to season highs in points and shot attempts.
Feb 4, 2023
Officially available vs. Mavs
Green (calf) will participate in Saturday's matchup versus the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
After being a late scratch during Thursday's loss to the Nuggets, Green will return to the lineup and play through right calf soreness. In his past 10 home games, the veteran has averaged 6.6 points, 9.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.1 blocks in 33.8 minutes.
Feb 4, 2023
Expected to play
Green (calf) is expected to play Saturday against the Mavericks, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
While Green is expected to play Saturday, he was also expected to play Thursday and ended up sitting out. He should be considered probable, but fantasy managers may still want to keep tabs on the situation.
Feb 3, 2023
Questionable vs. Mavs
Green (calf) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Green's status was in flux for Thursday's game against the Nuggets before ultimately being ruled out due to right calf soreness. The injury is still bothering him enough to leave his availability in question for Saturday. Jonathan Kuminga could see an expanded role again if Green remains shelved.
Feb 2, 2023
Late scratch Thursday
Green will not play in Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to right calf tightness, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green entered the day questionable with foot soreness before being upgraded to available and being listed in the starting five. However, he will not take the floor due to right calf discomfort. Donte DiVincenzo is the favorite to enter the first unit, while Jonathan Kuminga and JaMychal Green are candidates to see expanded roles off the bench. Green's next chance to play will come Saturday against the Mavericks.
Feb 2, 2023
Expected to play
Draymond Green is expected to play on Thursday against the Nuggets, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors are on the second night of a back-to-back set, and Green is experiencing some discomfort in his foot, but he'll push through the pain and get out there for a matchup against the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. He's safe to activate.
Feb 2, 2023
Questionable against Nuggets
Green is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to right foot soreness.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors have rested some of their key players in the second half of back-to-back sets recently, and it's not yet clear whether Green will suit up against Denver. He's averaged 7.8 points, 10.4 rebounds and 7.4 assists in 33.6 minutes per game over his last five appearances, but if he's unavailable Thursday, Kevon Looney and JaMychal Green will likely see increased run.
Jan 30, 2023
One rebound shy of double-double
Green provided seven points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, 12 assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 128-120 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Green played facilitator Monday night, matching Stephen Curry for a game-high 12 assists. While he only scored seven points, he still almost recorded a double-double, coming up one shy in the rebounding category. The 32-year-old is having a solid season and an even better January where he's averaging 7.5 points, 9.4 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 12 games.
Jan 21, 2023
Available Sunday
Green (toe) is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Nets, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, all the Warriors' regulars will be available after absences Friday against the Cavaliers. This month, Green is averaging 7.6 points, 9.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.8 steals in 34.4 minutes.
Jan 20, 2023
Out Friday
Green is out Friday against the Cavaliers due to right great toe soreness.
ANALYSIS
After a hard-fought overtime loss in Boston on Thursday, Green will get a day off Friday, as will Stephen Curry (hip), Klay Thompson (rest) and Andrew Wiggins (foot). More minutes should be available in the frontcourt for Jonathan Kuminga (foot), who is probable, and Anthony Lamb.
Jan 20, 2023
One assist shy of triple-double
Green produced 11 points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Thursday's 121-118 overtime loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Green established himself early on the glass, grabbing nine rebounds in the first half, eight of which came on the defensive end as the Warriors entered halftime with a one-point lead. He collected another four boards after the break for a team-high 13 rebounds on the night while also leading the team in assists with nine, finishing one dime shy of a triple-double. Green has now scored at least 10 points in back-to-back games after failing to do so in the first six games to start the month.
Jan 17, 2023
Double-double in win
Green finished with 17 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and three steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 127-118 victory over Washington.
ANALYSIS
It's his sixth double-double of the season, but it's been Green's offense that's held him back in that category. The 32-year-old forward's pulled down double-digit boards or dished double-digit assists, or both, seven times in 11 games since Christmas, averaging 7.1 points, 9.4 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 threes over that stretch.
Jan 15, 2023
Contributes across board
Green ended with eight points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 132-118 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Green unsurprisingly made an impact across multiple categories in Sunday's matchup. He's dished out six or more assists in five of his last six appearances, and he's also recorded at least two steals in three straight. Green did have a slow night on the glass, however, securing only four rebounds after collecting 12 rebounds in two contests heading into Sunday.
Jan 3, 2023
Another unusual double-double
Green accumulated five points (2-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 13 rebounds, 11 assists, three blocks and two steals in 45 minutes during Monday's 143-141 double-overtime victory over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Green tied his season high with 13 rebounds and dished out double-digit assists for the seventh time this season, marking his second double-double of the campaign without scoring in double figures. The defensive-minded forward also tied his season high with three blocks and recorded two steals, marking his second outing of the season with multiple tallies in each defensive category.
Dec 30, 2022
Will play Friday
Green (foot) is good to go for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Green was listed as probable, so his availability was to be expected. He should continue to start and hold a larger role in the Warriors' offense with Steph Curry (shoulder) and Andrew Wiggins (illness) sidelined.
Dec 29, 2022
Handed probable tag
Green is listed as probable for Friday's game against Portland due to right foot soreness.
ANALYSIS
Green has been nursing a foot injury over the last week or so, but he's been able to play through the issue and appears on track to do so again Friday. Expect confirmation on Green's availability from the Warriors closer to tipoff.
Dec 28, 2022
Active Wednesday
Green (foot) will play in Wednesday's game against Utah, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite getting a "questionable" tag due to a foot injury, the forward will be available for the Warriors on Wednesday and presumably resume his normal starting role. Green has averaged 7.6 points, 8.2 rebounds and 7.0 assists across his last five outings.
Dec 28, 2022
Questionable against Jazz
Green (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Green has played through a sore right foot over the last two matchups, and he averaged 6.0 points, 11.5 rebounds and 9.0 assists in 35.0 minutes per game during that time. However, it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday.
Dec 27, 2022
Active Tuesday
Green (foot) is available to play Tuesday against Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Green will remain in the lineup despite nursing right foot soreness. The veteran has averaged 7.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 7.5 assists across his last four outings.
Dec 26, 2022
Probable for Tuesday
Green has been listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets due to right foot soreness.
ANALYSIS
Green is a late addition on the injury report for the Warriors, but the probable tag suggests he's likely to see action, especially considering Stephen Curry (shoulder) and Andrew Wiggins (groin) remain out. Green is averaging 8.0 points, 6.8 assists, 6.3 rebounds and 0.7 steals per game this season.
Dec 26, 2022
Contributes in big way vs. Memphis
Green contributed three points (1-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 13 rebounds, 13 assists, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 123-109 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Green didn't do much in terms of scoring, but he crashed the glass for 13 defensive rebounds and tied his best mark of the season with 13 assists. The Michigan State product continues to prove his value on the boards and as a passer, as he's averaging 6.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists over 10 appearances this month.
Dec 25, 2022
Available, starting Sunday
Green (foot) is available for Sunday's Christmas Day matchup against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Coach Steve Kerr said ahead of Sunday's game that he expected Green to play, so it's not very surprising to see him included in the starting lineup against Memphis. Over Green's last three appearances, he's averaged 8.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 5.7 assists in 28.7 minutes per game.
Dec 25, 2022
Expected to play Sunday
Coach Steve Kerr expects Green (foot) will play Sunday against the Grizzlies, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green went through the Warriors' walkthrough earlier Sunday, and that was enough for Kerr to anticipate that the power forward will play tonight against the Grizzlies. He was listed as questionable with right foot soreness. Green is averaging 6.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game in December.
Dec 24, 2022
Questionable for Christmas
Green is questionable for Sunday's Christmas Day matchup against the Grizzlies due to right foot soreness.
ANALYSIS
Green has struggled lately, shooting just 36.5 percent from the field over his past eight appearances. If he sits out Sunday, bigger roles could be available for Jonathan Kuminga, Anthony Lamb, James Wiseman and other big men.
Dec 19, 2022
Sniffs double-double
Green racked up 17 points (7-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt), nine rebounds and five assists across 37 minutes during Sunday's 126-110 victory over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Green ended just one rebound shy of recording a double-double, and while he needed 15 shots to score 17 points, the veteran forward still delivered a solid performance in his return to action following a one-game absence. Green has been wildly inconsistent, as he has scored in double digits in three of his seven appearances this month, but he has failed to score more than three points in any of the other four. His scoring numbers are subpar, but he remains a valuable player in fantasy due to his contributions in other categories.
Dec 18, 2022
Starting Sunday
Green (quadriceps) has been listed as available and will start Sunday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Green was deemed as probable after missing Friday's contest against the 76ers, so his presence in the starting lineup is not surprising by any means. He's averaging 5.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game in December.
Dec 17, 2022
Officially probable Sunday
Green (quadriceps) is likely to play in Sunday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Green is expected to play in the contest after sitting out the team's most recent game. His return would send Jonathan Kuminga back to the bench and take minutes away from James Wiseman.
Dec 16, 2022
Out Friday, expected back Sunday
Green (quadriceps), who is out Friday against the 76ers, is expected to be back for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green's bruised quad will likely be just a one-game issue. In his absence Friday, more minutes should be available for Jonathan Kuminga, Anthony Lamb and James Wiseman.
Dec 16, 2022
Ruled out Friday
Green (quad) will miss Friday's game versus the Sixers.
ANALYSIS
Green is dealing with a contused right quad, which seemingly doesn't sound like a long-term issue. However, the veteran will require at least one night off, making Sunday in Toronto his next opportunity to suit up. Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody and Anthony Lamb are among the candidates to see additional minutes in his absence.
Dec 15, 2022
Questionable Friday
Green is questionable for Friday's game at Philadelphia due to a bruised right quad.
ANALYSIS
Green was ejected during Wednesday's loss to the Pacers but is also dealing with a quad injury. The timing is tough for Golden State, as Stephen Curry (shoulder) may be out a whole month. If Green misses time, with Andrew Wiggins (adductor) still sidelined, more time will be available for Jonathan Kuminga, Anthony Lamb and JaMychal Green.
Dec 15, 2022
Tough night Wednesday
Green was ejected from Wednesday's 125-119 loss to the Pacers after totaling one point (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 27 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward typically contributes in secondary categories even when he isn't chipping in much offense, but Green couldn't make any kind of impact in this one before picking up a second technical foul and getting tossed in the fourth quarter for jawing at the refs. It's possible the ankle soreness he's been playing through is a bigger issue than he's been letting on, but with Stephen Curry (shoulder) and Andrew Wiggins (groin) both banged up right now, the Warriors may not be able to afford to give Green a rest any time soon.
Dec 14, 2022
Good to go against Indiana
Green (ankle) is available to play in Wednesday's game versus the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Green has been upgraded from probable to available Wednesday with left ankle soreness. His injury is not severe enough to hold him out for the second night of a back-to-back. Green has only scored double-digit points in one of his last four games played.
Dec 14, 2022
Expects to play Wednesday
Green (ankle) is expected to play in Wednesday's game at Indiana.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors are officially listing Green as probable as they play on the second night of a back-to-back after getting blown out by Milwaukee on Tuesday. While Green appears on track to play in both halves of the back-to-back, Stephen Curry (knee) is considered questionable, and Golden State has already ruled out Klay Thompson (rest) and Andrew Wiggins (adductor).
Dec 13, 2022
In starting five Tuesday
Green (ankle) will start Tuesday's game versus the Bucks, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was listed as probable for Tuesday despite an ankle sprain and will indeed suit up for the contest. Look for him to play his regular role, with the veteran entering the night averaging 8.7 points, 6.8 assists and 6.2 rebounds over 31.3 minutes per game.
Dec 12, 2022
Dealing with ankle sprain
Green is probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Bucks due to a left ankle sprain, Madeline Kenney of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green presumably picked up the ankle injury during Saturday's win over Boston, in which he totaled 11 points, four rebounds and two assists in 36 minutes, but the issue doesn't appear to be significant and shouldn't sideline him for the first half of a back-to-back set. Across his past eight appearances, the defensive-minded forward has averaged 10.3 points, 6.9 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 33.5 minutes per game.
Dec 9, 2022
Slated to play Saturday
Green (hip) will be available for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green missed Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to left hip tightness, but coach Steve Kerr indicated Friday that Green and Stephen Curry (ankle) will be back in action following one-game absences. Green has averaged 10.1 points, 7.6 assists and 6.3 rebounds in 33.1 minutes per game over his last seven appearances.
Dec 6, 2022
Out Wednesday
Green is out Wednesday against the Jazz due to left hip tightness.
ANALYSIS
Green, Stephen Curry (ankle) and Andrew Wiggins (adductor) are shelved Wednesday, so the Warriors will use a skeleton crew led by Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson. There should be increased workloads across the roster; even James Wiseman was recalled from the G League.
Dec 3, 2022
Teases triple-double Friday
Green produced 13 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists and two blocks in 36 minutes during Friday's 119-111 victory over Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Green was up to his usual tricks against Chicago, contributing across the board while taking a backseat on offense. The veteran forward put up only six shots, but he made four of them -- including two three-pointers -- to record double-digit scoring for the fourth straight game (his longest such streak this season). Over that stretch, he's averaging 14.3 points, 7.5 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 1.0 three-pointers and 1.8 blocks over 33.3 minutes.
Nov 27, 2022
Scores season-high 19 points
Green recorded 19 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists and two blocks over 33 minutes during Sunday's 137-114 victory over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Green made all three of his shot attempts in the first half and scored 11 points to go along with eight assists. It was the first time all year that he scored more than 14 points in a game. While he hasn't hoisted up many shots recently, the 32-year-old has been efficient offensively and is 24-for-31 from the field and 5-for-8 from beyond the arc over his last six contests.
Nov 24, 2022
Posts usual varied stat line
Green notched nine points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, 12 assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 124-107 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Green took only four shots in the contest, but he made all of them en route to nine points. The versatile forward also led the Warriors in both boards and assists while recording a pair of steals. Green is a strong fantasy asset for managers who can stomach his lack of scoring, as he's putting up a solid 6.4 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game this season while shooting 57.7 percent from the field.
Nov 21, 2022
Unavailable Monday
Green has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pelicans for rest purposes, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is one of several Warriors who will rest for the second half of a back-to-back set Monday. He had appeared in each of the last seven matchups and averaged 6.6 points, 8.4 assists and 6.9 rebounds in 31.4 minutes per game during that time. Anthony Lamb and Jonathan Kuminga are candidates to see increased run Monday, while Green will likely be back in action Wednesday against the Clippers.
Nov 17, 2022
Perfect shooting night Wednesday
Green provided nine points (3-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 130-119 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Green hit all of his shots in the loss, adding a number of peripheral contributions, as is par for the course. Despite averaging just 8.0 points per game, Green is still putting up top-110 value, basically, in line with where he was being drafted. He certainly has the upside to move into the top 100 at some point, a range his managers would love to see him reach.
Nov 12, 2022
Leads team in assists
Green supplied two points (1-5 FG), nine rebounds, 13 assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 106-101 victory over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Green didn't shoot particularly well Friday night but overall, he's actually had a good season shooting the ball, averaging 58% from the field. The volume isn't always there to have a significant effect in category leagues but it's a nice bonus to go along his other contributions which are still right where you expect them to be from the veteran forward. His 13 dimes against Cleveland bring his average to 6.3 assists per game this season.
Nov 7, 2022
Set to return Monday
Green (back) isn't on the injury report for Monday's game against Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Green was one of several Warriors who rested during Friday's game against New Orleans, but he'll be back in action Monday. Over his last three appearances, he's averaged 6.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 5.7 assists in 29.3 minutes per game.
Nov 4, 2022
Won't play Friday
Green is listed as out for Friday's game versus Pelicans due to injury management.
ANALYSIS
Green will miss his first game of the season resting. The All-Star forward should return for the Warrior's game Monday versus the Kings. Jonathan Kuminga and JaMychal Green should be in line for extended minutes with Green out.
Nov 1, 2022
Modest production in loss
Green logged five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and three steals over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 116-109 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Green contributed across multiple categories in the loss, something we have come to expect. While it has been an acceptable start to the season for the veteran, he is yet to put it all together. Perhaps the biggest positive to come out of the season so far is the fact that he appears relatively healthy. As long as he can stay on the floor, he should continue to flirt with top-100 value.
Oct 28, 2022
Gets to 30-minute mark in win
Green contributed 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Thursday's 123-110 victory over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Green has now scored 10 or more points in three out of five games and has maintained solid all-around production, but Thursday's performance wasn't all good, as he also had five turnovers for a second straight game. However, as long as Green continues to receive similar minutes going forward, he should remain a double-double threat if he can keep the scoring up.
Oct 27, 2022
Expected to play 30 minutes vs. MIA
Head coach Steve Kerr said pregame that Green will play about 30 minutes Thursday against the Heat, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green hasn't eclipsed the 30-minute mark yet this season, averaging 27.3 minutes per contest through the first four games. However, that is expected to change Thursday based on Kerr's comments, so Green should receive a slight boost in minutes going forward if all goes well. Through four games, the veteran forward is averaging 9.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.3 steals per contest.
Oct 22, 2022
Just misses double-double Friday
Green produced 13 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and two steals across 27 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 128-123 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Green was unusually active as a scorer in the contest, knocking down four of six field-goal tries and going 4-for-4 from the charity stripe en route to 13 points. While that isn't a jaw-dropping total, it's a scoring mark that he hit only four times in 46 contests last season. Green also led the Warriors with nine assists Friday, and he rounded out the nice line with a pair of steals and blocks.
Oct 21, 2022
Minor workload increase Friday
Coach Steve Kerr confirmed Friday that Green will see a slight minutes increase from the opener against the Nuggets, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will reportedly remain on a minute cap through the first couple of weeks but will continue to see his minutes gradually increase. That will begin Friday night, so look for him to play a little more than the 25 minutes he saw versus the Lakers on Tuesday.
Oct 20, 2022
Minutes temporarily restricted
Coach Steve Kerr relayed Friday that Green's minutes cap should be removed within the next couple of weeks, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Slater notes that Green could see his minutes gradually increase after he played just 25 minutes in the opener. Green left the team temporarily following an altercation with teammate Jordan Poole and is now slowly working his way back into the mix. Look for his workload to normalize in the coming weeks.
Oct 19, 2022
Limited production Tuesday
Green ended with four points (2-5 FG), five rebounds and five assists across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 123-109 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Green was noticeably quiet in the victory, failing to record a defensive stat while scoring just four points. A disrupted preseason may have had something to do with his slow start, although there is also the possibility he is simply slowing down a bit. There is obviously no need to panic at this early stage but managers will want to keep an eye on his production over the next few games, to see if he can start to amp up his peripheral production.
Oct 13, 2022
Returns to lineup Friday
Green will play and start in Friday's preseason game versus the Nuggets, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will make his preseason appearance after a brief hiatus from the team after striking teammate Jordan Poole in practice. Green has already paid a team fine and seems in line to start in the regular-season opener Oct. 18 against the Lakers.
Oct 12, 2022
Will return to Warriors Thursday
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said Tuesday that Green has been fined for last week's practice altercation and will return to team activities Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will be available for Friday's preseason matchup with the Nuggets on Friday and the team's season opener on Oct. 18 versus the Lakers. The former Defensive Player of the Year will have spent less than a week away from the team and not receive any official punishment outside of a fine. Green is obviously a crucial part of the Warriors' success and should be a valuable fantasy asset this season.
Oct 11, 2022
Still away from team
Green (personal) will not play in Tuesday's preseason game versus Portland, and he is still away from the team, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has stepped away from the team after his altercation with Jordan Poole last week. While Green may not play for the rest of the preseason, there is no indication he will miss any of the regular season.
Oct 8, 2022
Stepping away for a 'few days'
Green, in a statement addressing his punch to teammate Jordan Poole, said he's stepping away from the team for the next few days, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Public interest in the incident swelled following a leak of the video capturing Green's punch, forcing Green to address the media rather than allowing the organization to sweep things under the rug. Green will miss Sunday's preseason game against the Lakers, and it wouldn't be surprising if he were out for Tuesday's exhibition against the Trail Blazers. It doesn't seem as if his status is in jeopardy for the regular-season opener Oct. 18 against the Lakers.
Oct 6, 2022
Not expected to miss games
Warriors president of basketball operations Bob Myers said Thursday that he doesn't expect Green to be suspended for any games, Madeline Kenney of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
The 32-year-old was involved in a physical altercation with Jordan Poole at practice Wednesday and apologized to the team Thursday prior to leaving the facility. It's not yet clear whether Green will spend any additional time away from the team, but it doesn't appear as though this week's incident will impact his availability to begin the regular season. Myers said that Green's punishment will be handled internally, but it seems unlikely that any discipline will include a suspension.
Oct 2, 2022
Dishes out five assists Sunday
Green tallied six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists in 17 minutes in Sunday's 104-95 victory over the Wizards in a preseason game in Japan.
ANALYSIS
Green's 17 minutes Sunday were a slight increase over the 13 he played in Friday's preseason opener. He's grabbed produced 10 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists in 30 minutes over two games against Washington in Japan. The 32-year-old missed 36 games last season with a lower back injury but looks healthy in the early part of the preseason for the defending champs.
Oct 2, 2022
Dishes out five assists Sunday
Green tallied six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists in 17 minutes in Sunday's 104-95 victory over the Wizards in a preseason game in Japan.
ANALYSIS
Green's 17 minutes Sunday were a slight increase over the 13 he played in Friday's preseason opener. He has 10 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists in 30 minutes over two games against Washington in Japan. The 32-year-old missed 36 games last season with a lower back injury but looks healthy in the early part of the preseason for the defending champs.
Jun 17, 2022
Silences haters
Green finished with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 12 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals in 42 minutes during Thursday's 103-90 win over the Celtics in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
ANALYSIS
Green flirted with a triple-double while having his best offensive outing of the finals. Despite struggling with foul trouble and awkwardness offensively at times, Green was unfazed by the noise and carried on with his disruptive defense, healthy facilitating and tone setting. Green earns his fourth ring with the Warriors.
Jun 6, 2022
Reverts to orchestration
Green ended with nine points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 107-88 victory over the Celtics in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
ANALYSIS
After a dismal 2-for-12 shooting performance in Game 1, Green settled into a subtle offensive role -- leading the Warriors in assists and earning trips to the free-throw line. This level of offensive production isn't atypical of Green, as he averaged just 5.6 field-goal attempts per game this season. The role resulted in a resounding victory and could be closer to the norm moving forward.
May 27, 2022
All-around performance in win
Green posted 17 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and one block over 31 minutes during Thursday's 120-110 victory over the Mavericks in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.
ANALYSIS
Green missed just one shot en route to a playoff-high 17 points and added nine assists, falling one short of his fifth double-double of the postseason. Across 16 playoff contests, the defensive-minded forward has averaged 8.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 30.3 minutes per game.
May 23, 2022
Pots 10-5-5 line in win
Green totaled 10 points (5-10 FG), five rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 109-100 win over Dallas in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
ANALYSIS
Green continues to post well-rounded stat lines as the Warriors now find themselves just one win away from returning to the NBA Finals for the sixth time in the last eight seasons. The veteran remains a virtual non-factor as a jumpshooter, but he's still one of the league's best defenders and most versatile playmakers. Entering Sunday, Green was averaging 7.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.1 blocks for the postseason.
May 3, 2022
Returns to Tuesday's game
Green (face) returned to Tuesday's Game 2 against the Grizzlies, per the TNT broadcast.
ANALYSIS
After spending some time in the locker room, Green returned during the second quarter. He was struck in the face by an elbow from Xavier Tillman in the first quarter.
May 3, 2022
Heads to locker room
Green went to the locker room during the first quarter of Tuesday's Game 2 against the Grizzlies, Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was elbowed in the face by Xavier Tillman. He didn't get up the court on the ensuing possession and was bleeding. He should be considered questionable to return.
May 2, 2022
Flagrant-2 won't be reduced
The NBA will not reduce the Flagrant-2 foul Green picked up during the second quarter of Sunday's Game 1 against the Grizzlies, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was assessed the foul and ejected from Sunday's game, which the Warriors went on to win by one point to take a 1-0 series lead. While there was some speculation that the league could reduce the foul to a Flagrant-1, that will not be the case. As such, Green will be assessed two flagrant points for the postseason. Per league rules, four flagrant points results in an automatic one-game suspension, so Green could trigger that result by picking up two more Flagrant-1 fouls (one flagrant point each) or another Flagrant-2 (two points) at any point during the playoffs. For now, though, he'll be free to return to action for Game 2 against Memphis on Tuesday night.
May 1, 2022
Ejected Sunday
Green was ejected from Sunday's Game 1 matchup against the Grizzlies after receiving a flagrant 2 foul, Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian reports.
ANALYSIS
With a few minutes remaining in the first half, Green appeared to smack Brandon Clarke in the face during a steal attempt and then proceeded to grab Clarke's jersey, resulting in a flagrant 2 foul following an official review. In his absence, expect Otto Porter, Jonathan Kuminga and Nemanja Bjelica to see increased roles the rest of the way.
Apr 24, 2022
Goes for 13-11-6 in Game 4 loss
Green amassed 13 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and two steals in 34 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 126-121 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Despite shooting 50.0 percent from the field and notching 26 assists on 43 made field goals, the Warriors were unable to complete the Round 1 sweep. Green had another efficient afternoon before fouling out, as he finished as a game-high plus-18 in his 34 minutes of action. Golden State will look to finish off the Nuggets in Wednesday's Game 5 back in San Francisco.
Apr 17, 2022
Stuffs stat sheet in playoff win
Green logged 12 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and three blocks across 29 minutes during Saturday's 123-107 win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Green was among five Warriors to finish with double-digit scoring in the victory, and he also provided his usual substantial assortment of complementary stats. The versatile forward led the team with nine assists and three blocked shots and even knocked down a three-pointer -- just his third since March 16. Green's ability to contribute in a non-scoring role is part of what makes the Warriors a legitimate title contender.
Apr 10, 2022
Compiles usual robust stat line
Green closed with 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 13 rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 100-94 win over San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Green led Golden State in rebounding and tied for the team lead in assists in the contest as he fell just two dimes shy of a triple-double. The veteran forward also registered double-digit points for the third time in four games in what has been arguably his best scoring stretch of the campaign. Green doesn't need to score to provide valuable contributions given his versatile skill set, but the boost in point production could prove especially valuable in the postseason if Stephen Curry (foot) returns at less than 100 percent.
Apr 3, 2022
Teases triple-double Saturday
Green finished with 10 points (3-5 FG, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and one block over 33 minutes during Saturday's 111-107 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Green posted his usual excellent numbers as a rebounder and distributor, but his most standout production was as a scorer. This was the versatile forward's first double-digit point tally since Dec. 20, and he reached his 10 points on just five field-goal attempts. Green is a unique fantasy asset who does just about everything well except putting the ball in the hoop.
Mar 31, 2022
Fills stat sheet in loss
Green recorded eight points (2-4 FG, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and two steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 107-103 loss to Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Green posted the type of stat line that has become typical for him Wednesday, as he finished with strong numbers in nearly every statistical category aside from scoring. The versatile forward registered his first double-digit rebound effort since Dec. 20 and made his presence felt on defense with three blocks and two steals. Green is more likely than not to be a multi-category producer in any given game, which makes him a valuable fantasy asset for managers who are able to tolerate his lack of scoring.
Mar 28, 2022
Will sit out Monday
Green (rest) will not play Monday at Memphis, Kendra Andrews of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors will rest Green, Klay Thompson and Otto Porter Jr. as they finish out a back-to-back set on the road in Memphis. The reeling Warriors, who've cratered since losing Stephen Curry (foot), appear to be content to fall to the No. 3 seed in the West with the playoffs fast approaching. Expect Green to return to action Wednesday against Phoenix.
Mar 27, 2022
'Most likely' sitting out Monday
Green will "most likely" rest for Monday's game at Memphis, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Immediately after Sunday's loss to the Wizards, coach Steve Kerr told the media that he'll probably hold Green, Klay Thompson and Otto Porter out on the second night of the back-to-back. Golden State has another back-to-back coming up Saturday and Sunday, so it's possible all three players could again be limited to one of those two contests to conclude the week.
Mar 25, 2022
Quiet in Friday's return
Green supplied four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Friday's 121-110 loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Green returned to the lineup after being given Wednesday night off but failed to deliver the goods for fantasy managers. Since returning from a lengthy layoff, Green has been far from impressive, outside of decent assist numbers. Over the past five games, he is averaging just 3.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.0 steals. His ability to contribute in multiple categories means he probably should be rostered in most places but given the time of year, you could be forgiven for moving on.
Mar 24, 2022
Will play Friday
Green (rest) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Green got Wednesday's game off against Miami due to it being on the second night of a back-to-back. He's still finding his groove since returning from an extended absence due to a back injury and has scored just eight points over his past three appearances.
Mar 23, 2022
Resting Wednesday
Green (injury management) won't play Wednesday against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Green, Klay Thompson and Otto Porter will all rest on the second night of a back-to-back set after losing to Orlando on Tuesday. Moses Moody, Damion Lee and Jonathan Kuminga should have increased workloads for Golden State on Wednesday.
Mar 22, 2022
Scoring remains weak
Green chipped in two points (1-3 FG), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 94-90 loss to Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Green hasn't scored more than six points in his four games since returning from a back injury. His defensive numbers haven't been up to par, either, as he's recorded just four steals and zero blocks. Fantasy managers are still getting solid rebound and assist totals from Green, especially when considering his workload, but the Warriors will need him to play better with Stephen Curry (foot) potentially out until the playoffs.
Mar 20, 2022
Tossed from Sunday's game
Green was ejected from Sunday's game against the Spurs midway through the third quarter after picking up two technical fouls for arguing with the officials.
ANALYSIS
Green was unhappy with a foul call around the seven-minute mark in the third quarter, which led to a spirted discussion with the officials. After being whistled for one tech, Green continued to have words with the referees, and he was ejected from the game in short order. Prior to being tossed, Green, who returned to the starting lineup for the first time since coming back from injury, posted four points (1-3 Fg, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 18 minutes. It's possible Green could face further discipline from the league, but a fine is much more likely than a suspension.
Mar 20, 2022
Back in starting lineup
Green will return to the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Kendra Andrews of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
After bringing Green off the bench for the last two contests, coach Steve Kerr announced pregame that he'll move the defensive stopper back into his usual power forward spot. Kerr also noted that Green's minutes restriction will be raised to roughly 28 minutes. He played 20 and 22 minutes, respectively, in his first two games back.
Mar 16, 2022
Coming off bench again
Green will come off the bench Wednesday against the Celtics and be limited to about 24 minutes, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green saw his first game action in over two months Monday against the Wizards and had six points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal across 20 minutes. The 32-year-old's minutes restriction will receive a slight bump for his second game back, and it's only a matter of time before he reclaims his spot in Golden State's starting five.
Mar 15, 2022
Serviceable output in return
Green (back) supplied six points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal across 20 minutes Monday in the Warriors' 126-112 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Facing a 20-to-23-minute restriction in his return from a 31-game absence due to a disc-related issue, Green performed on par with what fantasy managers were probably expecting in light of his limited playing time and lengthy absence. He came off the bench Monday, but Green should rejoin the starting five within the next game or two while having his minutes restriction bumped up slightly. Green may not settle back into the steady 30-minute role he held pre-injury until next week, but even this limited version of himself is still a useful option in the majority of leagues.
Mar 14, 2022
Coming off bench
Green isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Wizards, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has been cleared to return to action following a lengthy 31-game absence due to a lower back/disc injury, but he'll do so off the bench after failing to see his name in the starting five Monday evening. According to Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com, coach Steve Kerr wanted to utilize Green off the bench due to his minute restriction, making it easier for the team to deploy the Michigan State product in end of half or end of game situations. Green will still be expected to log 20-to-23 minutes.
Mar 14, 2022
Will be limited during return
Green (back) said he expects to be on a 20-to-23 minute restriction for Warriors' upcoming three-game week, including Monday's contest against the Wizards, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is expected to return to the lineup Monday, as he isn't listed on the Warriors' injury report for the time since Jan. 5. The All-Star forward added that he's been getting 4-to-8 minute spurts during scrimmages and usually is against minute restrictions, but "sometimes you need someone to protect you from yourself." While fantasy managers would prefer to have Green stuffing the stat sheet across 35.0 minutes per game, expectations need to be tempered, as the ultimate goal for Green and the Warriors is to be healthy for the playoffs.
Mar 12, 2022
Will be on minutes restriction
Green (back) is expected to return to action Monday, but, according to Warriors coach Steve Kerr, he will be on a minutes restriction, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's certainly good news for Green's fantasy managers that he will be back in time for fantasy playoffs, but he's unlikely to put up his usual production if his playing time is substantially capped. Kerr didn't specify how long Green should be expected to play, thus those with shares in the versatile veteran may need to take a wait-and-see approach. Green has missed Golden State's past 30 games, so some rust should be expected until he gets his legs back under him.
Mar 7, 2022
Hoping to return in one week
Green (back) is targeting March 14 against Washington as a return date, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It was reported Sunday that Green was looking at a return within the next 7-to-10 days, and this would certainly fit into that timeframe. He'll continue to ramp up his physical activity in the coming days with the hope of gaining clearance for the second game of Golden State's upcoming three-game homestand.
Mar 6, 2022
Set to return in 7-to-10 days
Green (back) is aiming to return within the next 7-to-10 days, according to a televised report from Adrian Wojnarowski on Sunday during ESPN's NBA Countdown.
ANALYSIS
Woj notes that Green went through a workout after Sunday's practice in Los Angeles as he continues to ramp up his activity. The perennial Defensive Player of the Year contender has not played since a back issue flared up in early January, and Saturday night's loss to the Lakers marked his 27th consecutive absence. Given Woj's timetable, Green will miss at least four more contests before potentially coming back as soon as next Monday (March 14) versus Washington. Because he's missed so much time, Green will likely be reintroduced to the rotation on a gradual basis, so fantasy managers may have some difficult decisions to make over the final weeks of the regular season.
Feb 27, 2022
Returns to practice Saturday
Green (back) was a limited participant during Saturday's practice, Jack Maloney of CBS Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
While Green didn't participate in any of the 5-on-5 work, he was able to go through numerous drills and conditioning work for the first time since the beginning of January. The All-Star forward told reporters after practice that his progress has been "tremendous." However, there's still no definitive timetable for his return. Green hinted during TNT's All-Star Game telecast that he could possibly return within the next 3-to-4 weeks, which would put his return at some point in mid-March.
Feb 21, 2022
Hints at 3-to-4-week timetable
Green intimated during Sunday's All-Star Game telecast that he's hoping to return to game action in 3-to-4 weeks.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors have not provided a ton of concrete information regarding Green's condition, but we did get an update just before the break that noted that Green has returned to light, on-court activities. He remains without a firm timetable, but his words Sunday night would imply that he's angling to return at some point in mid-March. The veteran forward has not played since Jan. 5 at Dallas. When the Warriors resume play Thursday in Portland, it will mark Green's 23rd consecutive absence.
Feb 16, 2022
Continuing rehab work
Green (back) is taking part in light on-court activity and will increase his workload going forward, and he'll return to play at some point after the All-Star break.
ANALYSIS
It's not much of an update from the Warriors, though it at least indicates Green has avoided any sort of a setback. The 31-year-old remains without a timeline for his return, though he seems unlikely to be ready to play coming out of the All-Star break at Portland on Feb. 24. Green's status is expected to be updated again once he returns to practice.
Feb 3, 2022
Out through All-Star break
Green (back) will not return until sometime after the All-Star break, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was selected as a Western Conference All-Star reserve Thursday night, but he quickly announced on the TNT telecast that he will not be available for the game, which is set to take place in Cleveland on Sunday, Feb. 20. As such, it's safe to rule Green out of the Warriors' seven remaining games before the All-Star break. The hope is that Green can get back on the floor before the end of the month, but he remains without a clear timetable.
Feb 1, 2022
Still no timetable for return
The Warriors announced Tuesday that Green (back) was recently re-examined, and while he's making steps in a positive direction, there's still no timetable for him to return to game action.
ANALYSIS
Green, who has been sidelined for the last 12 games due to lower back/disc injury, will be re-evaluated again prior to the All-Star break. It's unclear when exactly his next checkup will be, but it sounds like there's a possibility he's sidelined through All-Star weekend, which would mean he'd miss at least eight more games. However, the situation appears to be fluid, so expect more updates as the All-Star break approaches. In his absence, Jonathan Kuminga, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Otto Porter (foot) and Nemanja Bjelica (back) are all candidates for increased roles.
Jan 30, 2022
Evaluation coming up
Green (back) is scheduled to evaluated by a specialist within the next few days, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Though head coach Steve Kerr said that another update on Green's condition would be available Sunday, the Warriors aren't expected to disclose any further information until the veteran power forward is evaluated during the upcoming week. Even if Green receives a good prognosis while he contends with a disc issue in his lower back, fantasy managers shouldn't count on him playing at any point during Golden State's four-game week. Otto Porter, Kevon Looney, Jonathan Kuminga and Nemanja Bjelica (back) should all be in line to pick up a few extra minutes while Green remains sidelined.
Jan 27, 2022
Staying active during absence
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said Tuesday that Green (back) is "doing a lot of different stuff" in his rehab, and another update on the veteran forward will be available Sunday, 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was initially shut down Jan. 9 after experiencing left calf tightness, but the Warriors have since reclassified his injury as being related to a disc in his lower back. The 31-year-old will be sidelined for a 10th consecutive game and for the 11th time in the Warriors' last 12 games Thursday against Minnesota, and his absence will likely stretch deep into next week, if not beyond that. The upcoming update Sunday should provide a clearer idea of where Green stands in the recovery process, but while he's sidelined, Otto Porter and Jonathan Kuminga will be counted on to fill most of the minutes at power forward.
Jan 16, 2022
Out at least two more weeks
Green (calf) is expected to miss at least two more weeks.
ANALYSIS
Green underwent testing with several specialists since he hurt his calf last Sunday, and the evaluations revealed that the issue is related to a disc in his lower back. He'll receive physical therapy in the near future and will be re-evaluated by the Warriors' medical staff in two weeks.
Jan 16, 2022
Remains out Sunday
The Warriors list Green (calf) as out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Green's tight left calf will keep him out for a sixth straight game, but the Warriors are seemingly hopeful that the star forward will be ready to play at some point during the team's homestand during the upcoming week. Otto Porter will pick up the start at power forward in Green's stead Sunday.
Jan 12, 2022
Out at least two more games
Green (calf) has been ruled out of the Warriors' next two games Thursday at Milwaukee and Friday at Chicago, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Earlier this week, the Warriors intimated that Green would likely miss more time, and Steve Kerr confirmed Wednesday that the Defensive Player of the Year frontrunner will likely miss the remainder of the Warriors' four-game road swing. Green hasn't technically been ruled out of Sunday's game at Minnesota, but Kerr called him "doubtful" for that contest. As of now, Green will likely target a return Tuesday versus Detroit. Juan Toscano-Anderson started Tuesday's game against Memphis in Green's stead, but it was Otto Porter Jr. who saw the biggest bump in minutes.
Jan 11, 2022
Unlikely to play Thursday, Friday
Green (calf) is doubtful to play Thursday against the Bucks and Friday against the Bulls, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green hasn't technically been ruled out, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect the forward to play until Sunday at the earliest. In his absence, Otto Porter, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Nemanja Bjelica and other forwards should see more run.
Jan 10, 2022
Won't play Tuesday
Green (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was a late scratch for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, and he didn't travel with the club ahead of Tuesday's matchup in Memphis. Otto Porter, Nemanja Bjelica and Juan Toscano-Anderson should see increased work against the Grizzlies. Green remains day-to-day, and his next chance to return will be Thursday against Milwaukee.
Jan 9, 2022
Scratched from Sunday's game
Green will be on the floor to open Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, but he will not play in the rest of the game due to tightness in his left calf.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors did not list Green on their injury report, and it wasn't until the last second that the team announced the veteran will not truly participate in Sunday's game. Since he'll technically be on the floor when the game begins, it's unclear how Green's status will officially be listed. But for all intents and purposes, Green should be considered "out."
Jan 8, 2022
Back Sunday
Green (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
After Green and Steph Curry both missed Thursday's game against the Pelicans, they'll be back for Klay Thompson's return. Since the start of December, Green has averaged 8.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.8 blocks in 31.8 minutes.
Jan 6, 2022
Out Thursday with hip issue
Green will not play in Thursday's game against the Pelicans due to a sore left hip, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear if Green is truly hampered or if this is a phantom injury to give the veteran the night off with Stephen Curry (quad) already ruled out Thursday night. Either way, Green doesn't figure to miss much time, as he'll likely do all he can to return for Sunday's game against the Cavs, which is expected to mark Klay Thompson's (Achilles) season debut.
Jan 4, 2022
Collects 13 assists in victory
Green had five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, 13 assists, four blocks and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 115-108 victory over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
In his return to the starting lineup, Green also added four blocked shots, logging another solid multi-category game. Green is the go-to defensive specialist for the Warriors, and he'll usually focus on the opponent's primary playmaker regardless of position.
Jan 2, 2022
Clears COVID protocols
Green cleared the COVID-19 protocols and is expected to play Monday against the Heat, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has missed the past two games while in the health and safety protocols, but he's set to retake the court Monday for Golden State. He averaged 10.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 9.7 assists, 2.3 steals and 2.7 blocks in 33.7 minutes over his last three games prior to the absence.
Dec 26, 2021
Moves into league protocols
Green is likely to miss time after he entered the NBA's health and safety protocols Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green's placement in the protocols comes after he turned in a well-rounded line while plyaing 34 minutes in the Warriors' 116-107 Christmas Day victory over the Suns, with the forward registering eight points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 assists, eight rebounds, three steals and three blocks in the contest. He becomes the fifth Warriors player to enter the health and safety protocols, and unless he can test out early, he'll likely miss Tuesday's game against the Nuggets and additional contests to follow. Golden State will likely turn to committee of Otto Porter, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Jonathan Kuminga, Nemanja Bjelica and Kevon Looney to cover Green's minutes.
Dec 21, 2021
Notches triple-double in return
Green ended with 16 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and two steals in 33 minutes during Monday's 113-98 win over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Green sat out Saturday's loss at Toronto with what was described as right hip soreness, but he was back in the starting five Monday. The versatile forward finished with his first triple-double of the campaign and added two blocks and two steals. Green's scoring output marked only the second time in his past 11 contests that he has reached a double-digit point total.
Dec 19, 2021
Expected back Monday
Green is not on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Green was one of several Warriors regulars held out of Saturday's game at Toronto, but all signs point to the Defensive Player of the Year candidate making his return to the lineup Monday night. The Warriors are scheduled to play three games in Week 10, including Saturday's Christmas Day showdown against the Suns.
Dec 18, 2021
Ruled out Saturday
Green has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Toronto due to right hip tightness, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green played 31 minutes in Friday's 111-107 win over Boston and totaled six points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and a block. However, he apparently sustained a hip injury during the contest that will force him to miss Saturday's game. Justin Toscano-Anderson and Jonathan Kuminga should see increased work against Toronto.
Dec 13, 2021
Flirts with double-double
Green posted 15 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and five assists in 31 minutes during Monday's 102-100 victory over Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Green fell just one rebound shy of a double-double as he contributed across the board and was efficient on the offensive end of the court. His 15-point night was the best of the 2021 season for the Michigan State product, and he continues to do damage for fantasy managers on the glass. Green has scored in double figures in eight of 26 contests this year, so it would be unwise to expect him to consistently score at this rate going forward.
Dec 13, 2021
Not resting Monday
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr confirmed that Green will play Monday against the Pacers in the first game of a road back-to-back set for Golden State, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After the Warriors' 102-93 loss to the 76ers on Saturday, Kerr left the door open for both Green and Stephen Curry to rest for the front end of the back-to-back set, but the two starters will suit up in Indiana and are expected to handle their normal minutes loads. Depending on how Monday's contest plays out, the Warriors could revisit resting Green and/or Curry for Tuesday's game against the Knicks. At least for the time being, however, Green's fantasy managers should project him to play all four of the Warriors' games this week.
Dec 4, 2021
Fills stat sheet in victory
Green produced nine points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, nine assists, three blocks and six steals across 30 minutes during Friday's 118-96 win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Green played a huge role in the Warriors win over the hottest team in the NBA, as he was all over the place and contributed across the board while also showing efficiency when he was called upon to score. He ended just one point, one board and one assist away from what would've been his first triple-double of the season.
Nov 30, 2021
Clears injury report
Green (back) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's contest at Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Green took a hard fall in Sunday's win over the Clippers and was sore following the game. However, as expected, he will be available for the Warriors clash with the Suns on Tuesday. Green is averaging 8.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks across 30.0 minutes per game this season.
Nov 29, 2021
Expected to play Tuesday
Green (back) is expected to play Tuesday against the Suns, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green took a hard fall in Sunday's win over the Clippers and was sore following the game. Although he was looked at by the team's training staff during Monday's practice, it appears as though he'll be able to play through the issue Tuesday.
Nov 27, 2021
Big night in win over Blazers
Green finished Friday's 118-103 win over Portland with 12 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, 12 assists, three blocks and two steals across 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Golden State cruised to its sixth straight victory with Green and Stephen Curry (32 points, six threes) once again leading the way. While his free throw shooting (61.0% FT) remains an issue, Green has looked as strong as ever as a defender and passer, putting up 8.0 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks to go with 8.2 points per game on a career-best (by far) 56.3 percent shooting. The Warriors close out the week Sunday at the Clippers before entering a three-game Week 7 that begins Tuesday at Phoenix.
Nov 25, 2021
Produces solid all-around stat line
Green racked up 10 points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 116-96 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Ten points isn't typically worth celebrating, but this was Green's first game with double-digit points in over a week and just his sixth such effort through 17 games on the season. Of course, the veteran forward offers much more than scoring, and he produced his usual strong effort as a rebounder and distributor in the blowout win. Green's 8.0 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game this season make him a valuable fantasy asset for those willing to overlook his modest scoring average of 7.9 points per contest.
Nov 22, 2021
Productive on boards
Green supplied four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, eight assists and one block in 32 minutes during Sunday's 119-104 victory over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Green's shot volume was limited Sunday following his one-game absence due to a right thigh contusion, but he led the Warriors on the boards with a season-high 14 rebounds. Although the 31-year-old has been somewhat inconsistent in individual categories to begin the season, his well-rounded performances have made him a reliable fantasy option.
Nov 20, 2021
Available Sunday
Green (thigh) will play Sunday against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
After sitting out Friday against the Pistons, Green will be back in action Sunday. Across his past five appearances, he's averaging 8.4 points, 8.2 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 28.0 minutes.
Nov 19, 2021
Not playing Friday
Green won't play Friday against the Pistons due to a right thigh contusion.
ANALYSIS
Green is one of many Golden State regulars who will not be in action Friday. Juan Toscano-Anderson and rookie Rookie Jonathan Kuminga will both likely see increased roles against Detroit.
Nov 18, 2021
Finishes with 14 dimes
Green supplied four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, 14 assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Thursday's 104-89 victory over Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Green set a new season-high in assists on the way to the win, though he didn't produce much elsewhere. He's predictably not been much of a factor in the scoring column so far this season, though he was coming off back-to-back 11-point performances coming into Thursday's matchup. Fantasy managers can continue to expect Green to add value in assists and rebounds going forward with the occasional steal sprinkled in.
Nov 17, 2021
Dishes eight assists
Green had 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight assists, six rebounds and one steal in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 117-99 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
It was another efficient performance from Green while also helping hold Kevin Durant to his first sub-20-point performance of the season. Green has averaged 10.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists while shooting 73.7 percent from the field over the past three games.
Nov 13, 2021
Undeterred by previous injury
Green recorded nine points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 28 minutes during a 119-93 win Friday versus Chicago.
ANALYSIS
A previous thigh bruise did not prevent Green from recording another all-around stat line. He averaged 8.8 rebounds and 7.4 assists across Golden State's last nine matchups. Though he played fewer than 30 minutes again, the Warriors have been dominant during games enough not to need Green logging an extensive amount of playing time.
Nov 12, 2021
Will play Friday
Green (thigh) is good to go for Friday's matchup with the Bulls, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is nursing a bruised left thigh that he sustained in Wednesday's victory over the Timberwolves. Barring any setbacks, look for the veteran big man to take on his usual workload against the Bulls.
Nov 11, 2021
Questionable vs. Bulls
Green (thigh) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Bulls, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green left Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves due to a bruised left thigh. If he's unable to play Friday, more minutes would be available for Otto Porter, Juan Toscano-Anderson and Nemanja Bjelica.
Nov 11, 2021
Will not return Wednesday
Green (thigh) will sit out the remainder of Wednesday's contest against the Timberwolves, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was diagnosed with a right thigh contusion and will not return to the contest Wednesday. Until a more detailed update is available, Green should be considered questionable for Friday's contest against the Bulls.
Nov 4, 2021
Posts characteristic stat line
Green finished Wednesday's 114-92 win over Charlotte with five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fantasy managers who roster Green have come to expect this type of line from him -- Wednesday marked the fourth time in seven games this season the veteran has scored fewer than 10 points and taken five or fewer shots. Of course, Green's shortcomings as a scorer can be excused given the fact that he has tallied no less than six boards and six assists in every game this season. He is averaging 8.7 points, 8.9 rebounds and 7.1 assists overall on the campaign.
Oct 31, 2021
Sniffs triple-double in win
Green recorded 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists and a block across 25 minutes in Saturday's win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Green ended just two dimes away from posting his first triple-double of the campaign, but at least he came away with a double-double. He's not going to score in bunches on a nightly basis, but his value really lies in his ability to stuff the stat sheet and contribute in other areas of the game as well. One of the most versatile forwards in the league, Green is averaging 9.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks per game.
Oct 29, 2021
Logs defensive tour-de-force
Green posted four points (2-5 FG), 12 rebounds, seven assists, five blocked shots and three steals across 38 minutes in Thursday's 104-101 OT loss to the Grizzles.
ANALYSIS
Grene had to leave the game briefly with an injury, but he didn't miss a beat, jumping back on the court to swat a ball immediately. When Green can couple his defensive prowess with an excellent shooting night, he's one of the most valuable assets in the league. Tonight, the game-flow didn't help him out scoring-wise, but the rest of his line illustrated why he's one of the best defensive talents in the NBA.
Oct 26, 2021
Stuffs stat sheet
Green logged eight points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, three steals and a block during Tuesday's 106-98 victory over the Thunder. He also had four turnovers.
ANALYSIS
Green co-led the Warriors in minutes and catalyzed their second-half comeback. Down as much as 15 in the third quarter, Green had six of his assists in the second half. His lack of scoring can make him volatile, but Green is a staple on the Warriors and is likely to have his fair share of triple-doubles this season.
Oct 22, 2021
Produces well-rounded stat line
Green finished Thursday's 115-113 win over the Clippers with 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-9 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and one steal over 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fantasy managers who roster Green are used to this type of production from the veteran forward, as he chipped in a healthy amount of dimes and boards while offering only modest scoring. His numbers Thursday weren't far off from last season's per-game averages of 7.0 points, 8.9 assists and 7.1 rebounds. However, Green has gotten off to a slow start from the charity stripe this season -- after knocking down 79.5 percent of his free-throw attempts last season, he has gone 4-for-13 over his first two games in the current campaign.
Oct 17, 2021
Starting with limited workload
Green will begin the 2021-22 NBA season on somewhat of a minutes restriction, Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Steve Kerr said Sunday that Green will be ready to play his full load of minutes "in a week or two" and that he's "right where he needs to be." Green got a late start to training camp after missing the first few days and seems to still be getting his legs underneath him. It appears Kerr will have him on a bit of a minutes restriction to open up the season, although, he is content with where Green is in terms of his progression.
Oct 12, 2021
Won't play Tuesday
Green won't play in Tuesday's preseason contest against the Lakers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green and Stephen Curry will both rest Tuesday, but they are both expected to play in the Warriors' preseason finale against the Blazers on Friday. With Green sidelined, Otto Porter and Andre Iguodala will likely see increased minutes against the Lakers on Tuesday.
Sep 30, 2021
Back at practice Thursday
Green (personal) was at Thursday's practice, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green missed media day due to a personal matter, but he was back Thursday. He'll presumably be available for the team's first preseason game Monday against the Trail Blazers.
Sep 27, 2021
Excused from media day
Green was not present at Monday's media day due to a personal matter, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Warriors executive Bob Myers said Green cleared his absence with the team, and it's possible he could miss the first day or two of practice. All indications are that Green will be back in the mix soon, though it's possible he's limited during the preseason for load management purposes. Golden State opens exhibition play next Monday, Oct. 4 at Portland.
May 22, 2021
Triple-doubles in play-in loss
Green notched 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 16 rebounds, 10 assists, a steal and a block across 45 minutes in Friday's overtime loss against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Green recorded his second triple-double over his last four games and once again did a marvelous job of filling out the stat sheet, but his efforts were not enough to avoid Golden State's defeat. The versatile forward, who's a candidate to win the Defensive Player of the Year award, closes out another strong season since he averaged career-high marks in both assists (8.9) and steals (1.7), while also putting up 7.1 rebounds and 7.0 points per game. It's the second straight season he scores under 10 points per game, but Green provides enough value across the board in other categories to remain valuable across all formats.
May 17, 2021
Sniffs triple-double Sunday
Green delivered 14 points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and a steal across 38 minutes in Sunday's win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Green was a triple-double threat on a nightly basis and that didn't change Sunday afternoon, as he ended just one rebound and one assist shy of reaching that feat for the 11th time this season. The versatile power forward will be one of the Warriors' go-to players in their upcoming play-in matchup against the Lakers, and he should be a targeted player in most DFS formats due to his ability to stuff the stat sheet every time he steps on the court.
May 15, 2021
Clear of injury report
Green (finger) is not listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old sat out Friday with a finger issue alongside Stephen Curry (tailbone) and Andrew Wiggins (knee), but all three will be back on the court for the final game of the regular season. Green has averaged 10.0 points, 10.4 assists, 8.4 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 34.4 minutes over his past five games.
May 14, 2021
Out Friday
Green (finger) is out for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green, Stephen Curry (lower body) and Andrew Wiggins (knee) will all be sidelined for the Warriors, who will be extremely shorthanded for the second-to-last regular-season game of the season. There should be plenty of extra minutes in the frontcourt for the likes of Juan Toscano-Anderson, Alen Smailagic, Eric Paschall and Jordan Bell.
May 13, 2021
Questionable Friday
Green (finger) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Green is dealing with a left finger sprain, which appears to be a new injury considering he hasn't missed any time since early April. If he's unavailable, Juan Toscano-Anderson could be in line for increased minutes.
May 12, 2021
Registers triple-double Tuesday
Green tallied 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 assists, 10 rebounds and four steals over 37 minutes in a 122-116 victory over Phoenix on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Green notched his sixth triple-double of the campaign in the victory and added four steals on the defensive end. The veteran has been a triple-double threat all season, but he has often fallen short of the accomplishment due to a lack of scoring. Green has picked up the pace offensively over the past three games, however, averaging 12.7 points and 1.7 three-pointers per contest over that stretch. That's a sharp uptick over his season averages of 6.9 points and 0.5 treys.
May 11, 2021
Double-double in win
Green registered 12 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 assists, six rebounds and two steals in 37 minutes during Monday's 119-116 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old has recorded two straight double-doubles, a span in which he's averaging 13.5 points, 11.5 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers and 2.0 steals while shooting 55.6 percent from the field. Green is only averaging 6.9 points a game this season, but he's making up for it by producing a career-high 8.8 assists through 61 games. The ninth-year forward will look to help make it four wins in a row for the Warriors Tuesday at home against the Suns.
May 9, 2021
Dishes out 13 dimes
Green posted 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 assists, five rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes in Saturday's win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Green has dished out eight or more assists in five games in a row, and while his scoring figures have been poor most of the time, he's doing enough to remain fantasy-relevant with his contributions in other categories. The veteran power forward is averaging 7.5 points, 10.2 assists, 9.6 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks per game over his last 10 contests.
May 5, 2021
Fills stat sheet in loss
Green had seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and a steal across 36 minutes in Tuesday's loss at New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Green filled the stat sheet once again and came just one assist away from a double-double despite scoring just seven points. Perhaps the only negative aspect about his performance was the fact that he committed six turnovers, which translates to a 3:2 assist-to-turnover ratio. He's averaging 4.1 turnovers per game over his last seven games, though he also dishes out 10.3 assists per contest in that same span.
May 4, 2021
Playing Tuesday
Green (hip) will play Tuesday against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
As expected, the veteran will take the court despite a bruised right hip. Over the past five games, he's averaged 7.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.6 blocks.
May 4, 2021
Expected to play
Green (hip) is likely to play Tuesday but will go through warmups before an official decision is made, Kendra Andrews of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was initially listed as questionable, so this is effectively an upgrade to probable. Over the past five games, he's averaged 7.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.6 blocks.
May 4, 2021
Questionable with bruised hip
Green is questionable for Tuesday's game at New Orleans with a bruised right hip.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old apparently suffered the injured during Monday's win over the Pelicans while putting up 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT), 15 assists, 13 rebounds, three steals and two blocks in 36 minutes. Green's status for Tuesday's rematch is now up in the air.
May 3, 2021
Posts fifth triple-double in win
Green registered 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT), 15 assists, 13 rebounds, three steals and two blocks in 36 minutes during Monday's 123-108 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old kept up his across-the-board stellar pace, averaging 10.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.7 blocks over his last three games. Green has been a top-25 fantasy player over the past week and he'll look to keep the good times rolling Tuesday on the road against the Pelicans.
May 1, 2021
Nears triple-double in win
Green had nine points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and eight assists in Saturday's win over Houston.
ANALYSIS
Green played through a back injury and once again served as the Warriors' primary playmaker on a night when they registered 32 assists on 39 field goals. The veteran hasn't posted a triple-double since April 14, but he's come close a number of times over the last few weeks, with scoring often being the deficient category.
May 1, 2021
Playing vs. Houston
Green (back) is available for Saturday's contest against the Rockets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Green will play. In April, he averaged 7.8 points, 9.1 assists, 7.9 rebounds and 2.4 steals in 33.5 minutes.
May 1, 2021
Upgraded to probable
Green (back) has been upgraded to probable for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Green was initially questionable due to a bruised trapezius, but it's likely he'll play Saturday. In April, he averaged 7.8 points, 9.1 assists, 7.9 rebounds and 2.4 steals in 33.5 minutes.
Apr 30, 2021
Questionable Saturday
Green is questionable for Saturday's game against the Rockets due to a left trapezius contusion.
ANALYSIS
Green played 36 minutes in Thursday's loss to Minnesota, but he's now dealing with an injury that puts his availability for Saturday's game into jeopardy. If he's unable to play, Juan Toscano-Anderson and Kelly Oubre (wrist) could see increased run.
Apr 29, 2021
Across the board production in loss
Green ended with 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists, three steals and three blocks in 36 minutes during Thursday's 126-114 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Green continues to do his thing on both ends of the court, turning back the clock with another vintage performance. After a couple of down years, Green has come through for those that opted to take a chance on him in their drats this season. As long as scoring is not high on your list of requirements, he should continue to be an elite source of production in just about every other category.
Apr 28, 2021
Grabs 11 boards
Green missed his only field-goal attempt and did not score in 29 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Mavericks, but he tallied 11 rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocked shots while picking up six fouls.
ANALYSIS
The unique stat line isn't far from what Green has been putting up of late. He hasn't reached double-digit points in seven straight contests but has done just about everything else during that stretch, averaging 9.6 assists, 8.9 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 0.9 blocks. His lack of scoring can be frustrating in fantasy leagues, but his overall variety of contributions is a big asset for those not focused on points.
Apr 26, 2021
Teases triple-double Sunday
Green totaled eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 14 rebounds, 13 assists, one steal and one block in 37 minutes during Sunday's 117-113 victory over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Green fell one basket short of a triple-double in the victory, continuing what has been a resurgent season for the veteran. Despite seeing his scoring responsibilities dwindle, Green has remained a mid-round player thanks to his ability to contribute across the board. Barring any setbacks, he should be a key factor down the stretch, no matter your fantasy format.
Apr 24, 2021
Ties career high in assists Friday
Green scored only two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) but added 19 assists and 12 rebounds in 33 minutes during Friday's win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
With Stephen Curry blowing up again, Green focused his efforts on getting the ball to Curry and shutting down Nikola Jokic, and he largely succeeded at both tasks. The 19 dimes tied Green's career high, and over the last 11 games he's recorded double-digit assists more often than double-digit points, averaging 7.5 points, 7.1 boards, 9.8 assists and 2.3 steals over that stretch.
Apr 18, 2021
Posts typical Draymond line
Green went for five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 10 assists, five rebounds, a block and a steal in Saturday's loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Per usual, Green didn't provide much in the scoring column, but he handed out double-digit assists for the second time in three games while providing his usual, stellar defensive production. Over the last six games, Green is up to 2.8 steals and 1.2 blocks per contest.
Apr 16, 2021
Solid all-around performance
Green totaled five points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, eight assists, three steals and two blocks in a 119-101 victory over the Cavaliers on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Green recorded double-figure rebounds for the second consecutive game but was inefficient with his scoring opportunities. The forward also continued his dominance on the defensive end, recording three-plus steals for the fifth game in a row. Over that stretch, Green has provided fantasy managers with consistent all-around stat lines, averaging 8.4 points, 9.2 assists, 7.8 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 1.2 blocks per game.
Apr 14, 2021
Tallies sixth triple-double of season
Green tallied 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 16 assists, 10 rebounds, three steals and two blocks during Wednesday's 147-109 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Green managed his sixth triple-double of the season during the blowout win, as the veteran dished out at least 16 assists for a third time in 2020-21 while also finishing with a team-high plus-33 in point differential. Although Green is averaging less than seven points per contest for the first time since the 2013-14 campaign, the forward is posting a career best in assists along with improvements in rebounds and steals from a season ago.
Apr 5, 2021
Sniffs triple-double in win
Green recorded 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 assists, seven rebounds and four steals across 36 minutes in Sunday's win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Green has transitioned himself into a playmaking role to allow Stephen Curry to carry a bigger load in the scoring department, and this had led to Green recording 10 or more assists in 14 of his last 24 games. The scoring figures have been a bit inconsistent this season, but Green has been excelling as a passer and has a very high floor due to his ability to stuff the stat sheet on any given night.
Apr 4, 2021
Good to go Sunday
Green (finger) will play Sunday at Atlanta, Anthony Slater of The Athleticreports.
ANALYSIS
Green was initially listed as questionable for Sunday after having missed Friday's game against the Raptors, but he'll be available to lock into fantasy lineups. He scored double-digit points in each of his last two active contests.
Apr 3, 2021
Questionable for Sunday
Green (finger) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Green was forced to miss Friday's game against the Raptors with a left finger sprain and it's unclear if he'll be able to return Sunday. With Eric Paschall (hip) already ruled out, Juan Toscano-Anderson could see increased run at power forward for the Warriors if Green can't go.
Apr 2, 2021
Late scratch
Green (finger) is a late scratch from Friday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors previously announced Green was cleared to play and would start. However, doing fantasy owners no favors, they scratched him minutes before tip-off. His next chance to suit up will come Sunday versus the Hawks.
Apr 2, 2021
Cleared vs. Raptors
Green (finger) will play Friday against the Raptors, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Green's sprained finger isn't serious enough to keep him on the sidelines. Over Green's past 10 appearances, he's averaged 8.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 31.8 minutes.
Apr 2, 2021
Probable with sprained finger
Green is probable for Friday's contest against the Raptors due to a sprained finger on his left hand.
ANALYSIS
Green suffered the injury during Thursday's loss to the Heat, but it shouldn't prevent him from playing Friday. The bigger news is that Stephen Curry (tailbone) will be sidelined. Over Green's past 10 appearances, he's averaged 8.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 31.8 minutes.
Apr 2, 2021
Sniffs triple-double in loss
Green registered 16 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and four steals in 35 minutes during Thursday's 116-109 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old bounced back from two mediocre showings in a row to post his ninth double-double of the season. Before Thursday's 16-point effort, Green was averaging just 6.1 points this season, which is the lowest it's been since his rookie year. Thankfully for his fantasy managers, the ninth-year guard is salvaging his year by posting a career-high 8.4 assists along with 1.5 steals. He should continue playing between 30-35 minutes a game for a Warriors team that is only two games behind the Spurs for the eighth seed in the Western Conference.
Mar 30, 2021
One assist shy of double-double
Green delivered 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), nine assists, five rebounds, a steal and a block across 34 minutes in Monday's win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Green was coming off a scoreless performance the last time out and had posted single-digit scoring figures in each of his previous four contests, but he delivered an improved effort Monday night and ended just one assist shy of putting up a double-double. Green has dished out nine assists in back-to-back games and continues to provide value as a playmaker, though his scoring figures have been subpar of late -- he's averaging just 7.4 points per game while shooting 35 percent from three-point range since the All-Star break.
Mar 26, 2021
Will play Friday
Green (illness) will play Friday against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Following a one-game absence due to an illness, Green will be back Friday. This month, the veteran has averaged 7.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 8.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks in 32.1 minutes.
Mar 25, 2021
Ruled out Thursday
Green (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Green is dealing with a non-COVID illness that will keep him sidelined Thursday, while Eric Paschall (illness) or Juan Toscano-Anderson could join the starting lineup in his place. It's not yet clear whether Green will be able to return for Friday's matchup against Atlanta.
Mar 25, 2021
Questionable for Thursday
Green (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Green popped up on the injury report due to a non-COVID illness, which leaves his status for Thursday's game up in the air. If Green is unable to go Thursday, Eric Paschall could be in line for a start.
Mar 24, 2021
Strong two-way performance
Green collected six points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks in a 108-98 loss to the 76ers on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Green wasn't terribly efficient on his seven shot attempts but still impacted the game in basically every other way. The forward continues to provide fantasy managers with strong stat lines that typically don't include a lot of points. On the season, he is averaging just 6.1 points but remains a strong fantasy player with his 8.4 assists, 6.6 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks per game.
Mar 20, 2021
Posts typical Draymond line
Green had two points (0-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 assists, 11 rebounds, two blocks and a steal in Friday's win over Memphis.
ANALYSIS
It was yet another unique line for Green, who did not make a single field goal, yet still finished as a game-high plus-24 in 34 minutes of action. Green has racked up 23 rebounds and 23 assists over his last two games alone, and he's posting 8.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 block per game since the break.
Mar 17, 2021
Triple-double in win
Green tallied 16 points (7-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists and one block in 32 minutes during Wednesday's win against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old now has three triple-doubles on the season, with two of those coming over the last three games. Green isn't providing much in the way of points this season, but he's averaging a career-best 8.4 assists through 35 games this season. As long as the Warriors stay in playoff contention, Green should continue seeing 30-plus minutes a game while providing elite assists, rebounds and steals along with low-end points.
Mar 14, 2021
Registers triple-double
Green totaled 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 12 rebounds, 12 assists and four steals over 36 minutes in Sundays victory over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Green has two triple-doubles in his last five games. While he won't light up the points column, he finds other ways to contribute. He's dished out double-digit assists while grabbing at least nine rebounds in five of his last seven games and collected multiple steals in a game 12 times this season.
Mar 10, 2021
Back in action Thursday
Green (ankle) will play Thursday against the Clippers, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old sat out the final game before the All-Star break with soreness in his left ankle, but he's ready to play coming off the hiatus. Green averaged 5.7 points, 8.6 assists, 6.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 29.6 minutes over 31 games during the first half of the season.
Mar 4, 2021
Sitting out Thursday
Green (ankle) will not play in Thursday's game against the Suns, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green did not make the trip to Phoenix with the team, as he'll get a night off to manage his sore left ankle, which he initially tweaked against the Lakers on Sunday. Green finished Wednesday's narrow loss to the Blazers with five points, nine rebounds, 12 assists and three steals in 36 minutes of action.
Mar 2, 2021
Will play Wednesday
Coach Steve Kerr said Green (ankle) practiced fully Tuesday and will play Wednesday against Portland, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It doesn't look like the ankle injury that Green picked up in Sunday's loss to the Lakers will force him to miss any time, as it was just a slight tweak. The 30-year-old will look to continue into March his strong play from February, when he averaged 6.8 points on 43.0 percent shooting, 7.5 rebounds, 10.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks per game over the course of the month.
Feb 28, 2021
Injury severity downplayed
Coach Steve Kerr said Sunday he doesn't think Green's ankle injury is "too bad," Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was forced out of Sunday's 117-91 loss to the Lakers due to a left ankle sprain by halftime, but it looks as though he's at least avoided a severe issue. That could bode well for his chances of facing off against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.
Feb 28, 2021
Exits with left ankle sprain
Green won't return to Sunday's game against the Lakers due to a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
Green was hobbled with an ankle issue in the first half Sunday, and he was ruled out by the team at halftime. Prior to his departure, he recorded six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one block over 13 minutes. It's not yet clear whether the injury will impact his availability for Wednesday's matchup against the Trail Blazers.
Feb 27, 2021
Dishes 19 assists in triple-double
Green totaled 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 19 assists, 12 rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot Friday in a 130-121 win over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Green got off to a quick start, dishing eight assists in the first quarter en route to a career-high 19 dimes. His triple-double was the versatile forward's first this season and franchise-record 25th of his career. Green has racked up double-digit assists in three straight games and nine times in his past 12 contests. He is averaging a career-best 8.7 assists per game, good for sixth in the NBA.
Feb 25, 2021
Sparks late rally for the win
Green produced 12 points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3PT, 4-4 FT), 11 assists, nine rebounds, three steals and a blocked shot across 36 minutes in Wednesday's 111-107 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Two thunderous dunks from Green in the fourth helped ignite a rally that ultimately put the game out of reach. Although centers Kevon Looney and James Wiseman have returned to the rotation, Green's brief stint as the team's big man has really helped his numbers, and the re-discovery of Green's value on both sides of the ball will earn him a firm place in the starting lineup moving forward.
Feb 23, 2021
Great two-way performance
Green contributed seven points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 12 assists, nine rebounds, three steals and two blocks in the Warriors' 114-106 victory Tuesday over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
While Green failed to score double-digit points for the ninth straight game, he still found a way to have a terrific performance on both ends of the court. In addition to his typical defensive stats, the forward also led his team in both rebounds and assists. Green also returned to his normal power forward position due to the return of James Wiseman (wrist) and Kevon Looney (ankle). While this could affect Green's rebound totals moving forward, his playmaking ability and reliable defensive numbers will continue.
Feb 19, 2021
Dishes out nine dimes in return
Green (ankle) totaled six points (2-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), nine assists, seven rebounds and one steal over 34 minutes in Friday's loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
While Green's points per game are his lowest since his second season in the league, he's dishing out a career high in assists. Over his last 12 games, he's compiled more assists than points. During that span, he's also grabbed more rebounds nine times. While Green won't light up the points column, he can be counted on to contribute in other facets of the game.
Feb 19, 2021
Playing, starting Friday
Green (ankle) will play and start Friday's game against the Magic, Wes Goldberg of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, following a one-game absence due to right ankle soreness, Green will be back in the lineup Friday. Across his past five appearances, he has averaged 6.6 points, 11.2 assists, 7.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 33.4 minutes.
Feb 19, 2021
Probable, game-time call
Green (ankle) is expected to play Friday against the Magic, but he will still go through warmups before an official decision is made, Wes Goldberg of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has been trending in the right direction since missing Wednesday's game against the Heat, and it's looking like it will be just a one-game absence for the veteran. Assuming he's cleared to play, he'll almost certainly rejoin the starting five.
Feb 18, 2021
Listed as questionable
Green (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Green will carry a questionable tag heading into Friday's game after missing Wednesday's matchup due to right ankle soreness. However, coach Steve Kerr said Thursday that he expects Green to play against the Magic. James Wiseman (wrist) will remain out Friday, so Green should continue to play a prominent role in the frontcourt if he's able to return.
Feb 18, 2021
Expected to play Friday
Green (ankle) is expected to play Friday against the Magic, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was a late scratch Wednesday due to right ankle soreness, but coach Steve Kerr said he made the decision a few minutes before the game so that he wouldn't re-aggravate his injury and miss more time. Assuming he's available Friday, Green should reclaim a spot in the starting five against Orlando and continue to play a prominent role in the team's thin frontcourt.
Feb 17, 2021
Late scratch Wednesday
Green won't play Wednesday against the Heat due to right ankle soreness, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's a big blow for Golden State, which continues to lack any frontcourt depth with Kevon Looney (ankle) and James Wiseman (wrist) already sidelined. Mychal Mulder will join the starting lineup as the Warriors employ an even shorter small-ball lineup. Green's next chance to play will come Friday at Orlando.
Feb 16, 2021
Another spectacular passing display
Green notched six points (3-6 FG), 16 assists, eight rebounds, two blocks and a steal across 30 minutes in Monday's win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Green has gone six straight games without scoring more than eight points, but he's undoubtedly delivering value as a passer of late and is becoming the Warriors' main playmaker on offense. Since Feb. 2, Green is leading the league in assists per game with 11.6 per contest and has dished out 10 or more dimes in six of his eight appearances this month.
Feb 15, 2021
Starting Monday
Green (knee) is in the starting lineup for Monday's matchup with the Cavs.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Green will be available for Monday's game after originally being dealt a probable designation. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual role with the team.
Feb 14, 2021
Listed probable Monday
Green (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Cavs.
ANALYSIS
Green is dealing with soreness in his right knee, but it doesn't look to be anything overly serious. The veteran is coming off of a six-point, seven-rebound, eight-assist outing against Brooklyn on Saturday night. It marked the first time in six games that Green did not record double-digit assists.
Feb 13, 2021
Back to start second half
Green (knee) will start the second half of Saturday's matchup with the Nets, Kendra Andrews of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Green tweaked his knee late during the first half and limped to the locker room, but he's back on the court to begin the second half Saturday.
Feb 13, 2021
Leaves with knee issue
Green went to the locker room with an apparent right knee injury during Saturday's game against the Nets, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old landed awkwardly while contesting a shot and stayed on the court for a bit before making his way to the locker room. Green had five points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 17 minutes during the first half before exiting the contest. He should be considered questionable to play in the second half until the team updates his status.
Feb 12, 2021
Collects 11 assists in win
Green provided eight points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 assists, six rebounds, two blocked shots and a steal in Thursday's 111-104 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
The losses of James Wiseman and Kevon Looney breathes new life into Draymond Green's season. His new duties as the team's starting center have bolstered his usual multi-category contributions to new levels. The new-look Warriors are a quicker and more agile squad with e small-ball approach, and Green excels in the system.
Feb 9, 2021
Good to go Tuesday
Green (knee) is available Tuesday against the Spurs, Wes Goldberg of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old was considered questionable due to a sore right knee, but the injury won't prevent him from suiting up Tuesday. Green should continue to see plenty of work with coach Steve Kerr forced to play small ball with Kevon Looney (ankle) and James Wiseman (wrist) sidelined.
Feb 9, 2021
Should suit up Tuesday
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said that he expects Green (knee), who is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs, to play in the contest, RJ Marquez of KSAT 12 San Antonio reports.
ANALYSIS
After nearly coming away with a triple-double (seven points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) over 36 minutes in Monday's 105-100 loss to San Antonio, Green popped up on the injury report with a sore right knee ahead of the second half of the back-to-back set. Kerr's comments suggest that Green's inclusion on the report may just be precautionary, but those planning on using the 30-year-old in daily lineups will still want to confirm he's suiting up once clarity on his status comes shortly before the 8:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Green has played his best basketball of the season of late, averaging 5.2 points, 10.6 assists, 7.6 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.6 blocks in 33.2 minutes per game over his last five outings.
Feb 9, 2021
Questionable for Tuesday
Green (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is being listed as questionable on the second half of a back-to-back due to soreness in his right knee. Since missing the first four games of the season, Green has appeared in every game for the Warriors. If he's held out Eric Paschall could see increased run.
Feb 9, 2021
Drops 10-plus dimes in third straight
Green finished Monday's 105-100 loss to the Spurs with seven points (3-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 10 assists, 10 rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Green continues to labor through his worst offensive season since his rookie year in 2012-13, as he's averaging a meager 5.0 points on 33.3/19.5/70.4 percent shooting splits from the field, three-point land and free-throw line, respectively. Despite actively harming fantasy managers in those areas, Green warrants a roster spot in just about every rotisserie format due to the plentiful numbers he's posting elsewhere in the box score. He's thrived while playing more frequently as a small-ball center while James Wiseman (wrist) and Kevon Looney (ankle) have missed most of the past four games, averaging 11.8 assists, 8.3 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 2.0 blocks during that time.
Feb 7, 2021
Multiple highs despite two points
Green had two points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 assists, six rebounds, six steals and four blocks Saturday in a 134-132 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Despite committing seven turnovers and scoring zero field goals, Green supplied his best performance of the season in terms of value. Green's 15 assists, six steals and four blocks were all season highs that racked up many fantasy points for owners not needing scoring. His performance harkened back to his All-Star versatility, mostly far down the road but still a recurring theme every now and then.
Feb 4, 2021
Double-double in blowout victory
Green contributed 11 points (3-5 FG, 5-5 FT), 15 assists and six rebounds in the Warriors' 147-116 victory Thursday over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Green facilitated the Warriors offense brilliantly Thursday, recording a season-high assist total. He was able to do whatever he wanted against the Mavericks defense, as he only had one turnover in his 29 minutes. The three-time All-Star registered seven assists in a back and forth first half, before assisting on eight Golden State field goals in the third quarter. The Warriors bench extended the lead in the fourth quarter, ending Green's efficient night.
Feb 3, 2021
Impactful despite poor point total
Green totaled two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two blocked shots in a loss to the Celtics on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Green's unique stat line included over twice as many turnovers (five) and fouls (five) as points (two), but that didn't stop the veteran from making his mark on the game. Green established season highs with 11 boards and two blocks while doling out seven dimes and picking up a pair of thefts. There is perhaps no NBA player who better exemplifies the ability to make an impact without scoring; on the season, Green is averaging only 4.6 points but remains fantasy-relevant thanks to complementary stats that include 5.0 boards, 6.6 assists and 1.2 steals per contest.
Feb 2, 2021
Cleared to play
Green (thigh) will play Tuesday against the Celtics, Wes Goldberg of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, despite left adductor tightness, Green will take the floor. Across the past five games, he's averaging 5.2 points, 6.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 27.6 minutes.
Feb 1, 2021
Likely to play Tuesday
Green is probable for Tuesday's matchup against Boston due to left adductor tightness.
ANALYSIS
Green likely picked up the injury during Saturday's win over Detroit, as the forward logged 28 minutes of action and posted four points, six assists and five rebounds. Although likely to play versus the Celtics, Green's injury is something to monitor throughout the week.
Jan 27, 2021
Ties season-high scoring Monday
Green recorded 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Monday's 130-108 win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Green's 10 points matched his season high, and at this point in his career, he can't be trusted to score reliably. On the season, he's averaging 5.0 points on 35.4 percent shooting. What he is providing is peripheral stats, with Green averaging 6.6 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 26.5 minutes.
Jan 19, 2021
Stuffs stat sheet Monday
Green totaled seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, nine assists and one steal in Monday's victory versus the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
In typical Green fashion, the forward made an impact without doing much from a scoring perspective, coming close to a triple-double over 31 minutes. Though Green's scoring average (4.3 points per game) is at its lowest mark since his rookie campaign, the versatile veteran has done enough in others areas (5.3 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 1.3 steals) to remain a hold in most fantasy leagues.
Jan 15, 2021
Struggles in loss
Green produced one point (0-2 FG, 1-4 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and one steal in 25 minutes during Thursday's 114-104 loss to the Warriors. Friday's game against the Suns has been postponed.
ANALYSIS
Green was able to hand out seven assists, but they were somewhat soured by his five turnovers and awful shooting. He got in foul trouble, committing five, resulting in a reduced workload as well. Thursday's effort marked the third time this season Green has scored one or zero points. The veteran is shooting just 28.1 percent from the field and 64.7 percent from the charity stripe.
Jan 13, 2021
Friday's game postponed
Green and the Warriors will not play Friday in Phoenix after the game was postponed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors are still on track to play Thursday in Denver, but Friday's game has been nixed due to contact tracing within the Suns organization.
Jan 11, 2021
Just shy of triple-double
Green totaled 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 assists, nine rebounds and one block in 29 minutes in the Warriors' 106-105 win Sunday over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Green doing Green things, not offering much in terms of points but still adding contributions in other areas as he led the team in assists and tied for the most rebounds in Sunday's win.
Jan 7, 2021
Not on injury report
Green (undisclosed) is not listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Green looks like he'll remain in the team's lineup for Friday's game after only partially practicing Thursday. The veteran forward is averaging just 2.5 points on 18.2 percent shooting, 4.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game through four contests so far this year.
Jan 7, 2021
Probable Friday
Green is probable for Friday's game against the Clippers, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was only a partial participant in Thursday's practice for undisclosed reasons, but he should be fine for Friday's contest. Over the past three games, he's averaging 3.3 points, 6.3 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 26.7 minutes.
Jan 7, 2021
Well-rounded effort in loss
Green totaled four points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in a loss to the Clippers on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Green didn't offer much scoring in the contest, but, in typical fashion, he made contributions in a variety of other areas, pacing the team in both rebounds and assists. He also played a season-high 31 minutes, so he appears to be rounding into shape after missing the first four games of the season with a foot injury.
Jan 3, 2021
To play roughly 24 minutes
Green is expected to play around 24 minutes in Sunday's game against the Blazers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green made his debut against the Blazers on Friday and saw 18 minutes of action, finishing scoreless with four points and four assists. He'll have his workload bumped up a bit Sunday as the Warriors head into the first night of a back-to-back. At this point, it's unclear if Green will be held out for rest purposes Monday against the Kings.
Jan 2, 2021
Workload should rise Sunday
Coach Steve Kerr indicated that Green's minutes should "inch up" Sunday against the Trail Blazers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green played 18 minutes in his season debut, recording four rebounds, four assists and one steal but going 0-of-3 from the field. Kerr won't jump Green's minutes back up to 30-plus right away, so we can probably expect something in the low-20s Sunday.
Jan 2, 2021
Scoreless in season debut
Green recorded zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 18 minutes in Friday's 123-98 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Green was on a minutes restriction during his season debut Friday, and he didn't attempt many shots in the loss. He was unable to contribute any scoring against Portland, but he had modest production in rebounds and assists. Now that he's available for the Warriors, the 30-year-old will likely attempt to build up his conditioning in the near future.
Jan 1, 2021
Officially available
Green (foot) is active for Friday's game against Portland, Jamie Hudson of NBC Sports Northwest reports.
ANALYSIS
It comes as little surprise to see Green available for Friday's contest after he was listed as probable ahead of the game. He'll likely rejoin the starting five against the Trail Blazers, which would sent Juan Toscano-Anderson to the bench. However, coach Steve Kerr said that he doesn't expect Green to play much more than 20 minutes in his season debut, Wes Goldberg of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Dec 31, 2020
Probable Friday
Green (foot) is probable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has yet to make his season debut while recovering from a right foot injury, but he'll likely step on the court for the first time Friday. Chances are, he'll join the starting five, meaning Juan Toscano-Anderson will almost certainly head back to the bench. There's a chance Green will be on a minutes limit if he plays.
Dec 27, 2020
Won't play during road trip
Green (foot) won't play Sunday against the Bulls or Tuesday against the Pistons, Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green had already been ruled out for Sunday's contest due to right foot soreness, but coach Steve Kerr revealed that he won't play during the Warriors' current road trip. Since the team wants to build his conditioning back up, his next chance to play will now be Jan. 1 against the Trail Blazers.
Dec 27, 2020
Ruled out Sunday
Green (foot) will not play in Sunday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
It will be a third straight absence to begin the year for Green, who is still nursing a sore right foot. He was able to go through a full practice Saturday, but the Warriors will again play it safe. Expect Eric Paschall to make another start at power forward.
Dec 27, 2020
Questionable for Sundy
The Warriors continue to list Green (foot) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
A sore right foot has kept Green out of the Warriors' first two games, but the forward was able to resume practicing Saturday, signaling that he'll likely be ready to play again soon. He's still apparently not in the clear to make his season debut Sunday, however, and his status could end up being decided shortly before the 8 p.m. ET kickoff. If Green misses a third straight contest, Eric Paschall would likely pick up another start at power forward.
Dec 26, 2020
Practices, could play Sunday
Green (foot) practiced Saturday and could play Sunday against the Bulls, Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has missed the first two games of the season due to a foot injury, but it's a good sign that he was able to practice Saturday. The possibility of him returning Sunday against the Bulls seems on the table.
Dec 23, 2020
Ruled out for Christmas Day
Green (foot) will not play in Friday's Christmas Day matchup agains the Bucks, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
While Green was able to go through a full practice Wednesday, the Warriors will play it safe and hold him out for a second straight game to begin the regular season. Per coach Steve Kerr, the hope is that Green will return to the lineup for Sunday's game in Chicago or Tuesday's game in Detroit.
Dec 22, 2020
Could practice Wednesday
Coach Steve Kerr hopes Green (foot) is able to practice with the team Wednesday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old has already been ruled out for Tuesday's season opener with the Nets, though he is scheduled to go through a individual workout. Green could have a chance to play Friday at Milwaukee if he's able to retake the court Wednesday with no issues. Eric Paschall is starting in his place Tuesday for Golden State.
Dec 21, 2020
Officially out Tuesday
Green (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's season opener at Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old was initially considered doubtful for Tuesday's opener, so it's not much of a surprise he won't be available. Eric Paschall is a likely bet to see increased minutes with Green sidelined until at least Friday's matchup with the Bucks.
Dec 19, 2020
Doubtful for opener
Green tweaked his ankle in the Warriors' latest scrimmage and is doubtful for Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Nets, Wes Goldberg of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Green's progress was trending positively and it seemed like he might be able to play in the opener, but he injured his ankle in the ramp-up process. Assuming he's out Tuesday, Eric Paschall should see extra run.
Dec 16, 2020
Goes through full-speed scrimmage
Green (undisclosed) participated in a full-speed, 12-minute scrimmage at practice Wednesday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward still won't play in Thursday's preseason finale, as coach Steve Kerr said it would be "irresponsible" to play him after the late arrival to camp, per Wes Goldberg of The San Jose Mercury News. Green's increased activities levels should give him a chance to suit up for Tuesday's season opener at Sacramento, though there's been no official indications of whether he's expected to play.
Dec 14, 2020
Goes through practice Monday
Green (undisclosed) participated in most of Monday's practice, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old isn't expected to play in any of Golden State's preseason games -- the final of which is Thursday at Sacramento -- but a near-full practice session represents significant progress. According to Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle, Green isn't sure when he'll see game action, but he said, "I'm trying to figure that out now. All I can do is stay in the gym and get right." The Warriors season opener is Dec. 22 against the Nets.
Dec 11, 2020
Progresses to light shooting
Green (undisclosed) progressed to light shooting Friday, Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green is slowly increasing his activity level after doing some weightlifting Thursday. He's still expected to sit out of all the Warriors' preseason games.
Dec 10, 2020
Expected to sit preseason out
Green (undisclosed) is not expected to play in any of the Warriors' preseason games, Drew Shiller of Warriors Outsiders reports.
ANALYSIS
Green began lifting weights at the facility Thursday, but he has yet to do any sort of cardio. Instead of ramping him up by throwing him into the fire during preseason games, coach Steve Kerr will opt for a slower approach, bringing Green along during training camp with the hope of him being ready for the regular-season opener.
Dec 10, 2020
Lifts weights at Warriors' facility
Green (undisclosed) lifted weights at the Warriors' practice facility Thursday, Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. He also sat in on the team's film session but did not do any cardio.
ANALYSIS
Green could start getting on the court as soon as Friday, but he'll need some time to get back into the swing of things before he plays in games. As a result, he's almost certainly out for Saturday's preseason opener, but he could play in Tuesday's contest.
Dec 7, 2020
Not practicing
Green (undisclosed) didn't participate at Tuesday's practice, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Steve Kerr announced Green and James Wiseman both didn't practice Monday, but was unable to offer any specifics. The Warriors had two players test positive for COVID-19 at intake test last week, so the implication is that Green and Wiseman are going through the league protocols. Both players should be ready to practice once cleared.
Mar 11, 2020
Remains out Thursday
Green (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward will miss his seventh consecutive contest due to the left knee injury. Eric Paschall could enter the starting lineup in Green's absence, since Juan Toscano-Anderson (ankle) is also sidelined.
Mar 9, 2020
Out again Tuesday
Green (knee) will remain sidelined for Tuesday's contest against the Clippers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green absence will mark his sixth consecutive game missed due to a lingering knee issue. The Warriors have not provided a concrete timetable for his return, so he remains day-to-day following Tuesday's game. His next chance to return will come Thursday against the Nets.
Mar 7, 2020
Out again Saturday
Green (knee) will remain sidelined for Saturday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Green's absence will be his seventh missed game out of his last eight. Given the Warriors record, they will presumably continue playing it extremely cautious with their star players in order to ensure their health going forward. His next chance to play will be Tuesday against the Clippers.
Mar 6, 2020
May return Saturday
Green (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Sixers, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old has missed six of the last seven games, but coach Steve Kerr hopes the veteran forward will be able to retake the court Saturday. Green has appeared in only two games since the All-Star break, and he saw only 10 minutes in his last contest before being ejected.
Mar 5, 2020
Won't play Thursday
Green (knee) won't play in Thursday's contest against Toronto, dd reports.
ANALYSIS
Green will officially miss a fourth straight matchup, as the forward continues to battle left knee soreness. The Michigan State product has only taken the floor in one of the past seven games dating back to Feb. 23. Juan Toscano-Anderson will presumably garner a fourth consecutive start with Green absent Thursday.
Mar 4, 2020
Designated as questionable Thursday
Green (knee) is considered questionable for Thursday's game against Toronto, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green's at risk of missing a fourth consecutive contest due to a sore left knee. Look for the team to provide a further update on his status ahead of tipoff.
Mar 3, 2020
Won't play Tuesday
Green (knee) will not in play in Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After initially being ruled as questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Nuggets, Green will be forced to sit out for his third consecutive matchup. The 29-year-old's next opportunity to play will come on Thursday against the Raptors.
Mar 2, 2020
Questionable for Tuesday
Green (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Green's status for Tuesday's game remains murky as he continues to battle a knee issue, which forced him to miss the past two games. His availability may not clear up until closer to game time Tuesday.
Mar 1, 2020
Ruled out Sunday
Green (knee) will not play in Sunday's game against Washington, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Warriors listed Green as questionable, but he'll ultimately be sidelined for the fourth time in five games. Consider Green day-to-day and questionable for Tuesday's game in Denver until further notice.
Feb 29, 2020
Won't play Saturday
Green (knee) was ruled out for Saturday's game against the Suns, Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was considered questionable due to left knee soreness, but he'll end up sitting out the front end of the back-to-back set. Eric Paschall figures to enter the starting lineup in his place.
Feb 29, 2020
Questionable Saturday vs. Suns
Green is questionable for Saturday's game against the Suns due to left knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
Green played only 10 minutes during Thursday's blowout loss, but that was due to an ejection. Somewhere along the line, he did something that's resulted in knee soreness. If he doesn't play Saturday, Eric Paschall would likely see a bump in usage.
Feb 28, 2020
Ejected in blowout loss
Green (pelvis) produced two points (1-1 FG), four assists, one rebound and one steal across 10 minutes Thursday before being ejected in the Warriors' 116-86 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Returning from a two-game absence due to a pelvic contusion, Green didn't last until halftime after accruing his second technical foul of the night with 5:45 remaining in the second quarter. The two technicals bring his total to 14 for the season, leaving him two shy of triggering an automatic one-game suspension.
Feb 27, 2020
Available Thursday vs. Lakers
Green (pelvis) is available for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Green will make his return following a two-game absence. Since the New Year, Green is averaging 6.1 points, 7.0 assists, 6.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 27.7 minutes.
Feb 26, 2020
Expected back Thursday
Green (pelvis) is expected to play Thursday against the Lakers, Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Considering the Warriors are 12-46, the team had plenty of reason to play it safe with Green and keep him on the shelf for two games, but he should be back to face the Lakers. Since the new year, Green is averaging 6.1 points, 7.0 assists, 6.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 27.7 minutes.
Feb 25, 2020
Out again Tuesday
Green (pelvis) is out for Tuesday's matchup against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Green will sit out for a second straight game while dealing with a bruised right pelvis. In his absence, Eric Paschall should draw another start.
Feb 24, 2020
Deemed questionable
Green (pelvis) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green missed Sunday's loss to the Pelicans due to a right pelvic contusion, but the Warriors are leaving the door open for a possible return against Sacramento on Tuesday. Look for his status to clear up following the team's morning shootaround.
Feb 22, 2020
Out Sunday
Green has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans with a right pelvic contusion, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green put up four points, four rebounds and seven assists in only 18 minutes during Thursday's loss to Houston, when he appears to have picked up the injury. Kevon Looney, Eric Paschall and Juan Toscano-Anderson could all see increased run Sunday, especially with Marquese Chriss (calf) questionable.
Feb 9, 2020
Not on report
Green (back) is not on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Green was a late scratch from Saturday's loss to the Lakers, but the back issue is nothing of concern. Expect Green to return to the lineup Monday night and play his usual role of 25 to 30 minutes. Over his last 12 games, Green is averaging 7.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks in 29.0 minutes.
Feb 8, 2020
Late scratch Saturday
Green was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Timberwolves with lower back tightness, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward was originally in the starting five despite being listed as questionable, but apparently his back tightened up pregame. Eric Paschall will enter the starting lineup in his place.
Feb 8, 2020
Will play Saturday
Green (back) will play Saturday against the Lakers, Wes Goldberg of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite back soreness, Green will take the court. Over his past five appearances at home, he's averaging 6.2 points, 6.6 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 30.8 minutes.
Feb 7, 2020
Questionable Saturday
Green is questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers due to lower back tightness.
ANALYSIS
Green has emerged from Wednesday's loss to the Nets with back tightness. More information on his condition for Saturday may arrive following morning shootaround. If he ends up sidelined, Eric Paschall figures to see extra run.
Feb 4, 2020
Double-double in win
Green scored 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt) while adding 10 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a block in 33 minutes during Monday's 125-117 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
It was a typically well-rounded line from Green, who recorded his first double-double involving boards since Dec. 31. Despite all the Warriors' injuries this season, the 29-year-old hasn't seen his offensive role increase, but Green remains a solid fantasy asset due to his multi-category contributions.
Jan 30, 2020
Continued versatility
Green supplied nine points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and a steal across 27 minutes during the Warriors' 119-104 loss to the Celtics on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Green approached double-double territory for the third consecutive game. He has also gotten a steal in nine straight games. Owners have likely grown accustomed to this level of production from Green, who is averaging 8.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals on the season.
Jan 28, 2020
Nears triple-double
Green accumulated nine points (3-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 assists, nine rebounds, three blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 115-104 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Green filled up the stat sheet, finishing one point and one board shy of a triple-double while matching season highs in assists and blocks against a tough defensive opponent. He'll look to build on this performance heading into Thursday's tilt versus the Celtics.
Jan 25, 2020
Dishes out 11 assists
Green posted 10 points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 assists, six rebounds and a steal across 32 minutes in Friday's 129-118 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Green bounced back from a poor game against Utah by churning out a double-double on Friday. Green's been plagued with injuries this season, with 13 missed games on the schedule. Like many of his teammates, his stat lines are filled with variance but he always tends to throw out consistent numbers in secondary categories.
Jan 23, 2020
Nonexistent in loss
Green had just five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and a steal in 25 minutes during the Warriors' 129-96 loss to the Jazz on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Green had been battling an illness throughout the week but that is likely not an excuse for Wednesday's performance given that he was reportedly available to play Monday if needed. The combined six rebounds and assists were his lowest total in over a month. The Warriors may only further embrace the youth movement despite the estimated March return of Stephen Curry (hand). Owners can do better than Green through buy-low candidates and deadline roster shakeups.
Jan 21, 2020
Absent from injury report
Green (illness) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game against Utah, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was held out of Monday's matchup with the Trail Blazers due to illness, but he should be ready to roll Wednesday. He's averaging 5.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 5.6 assists over his last five games.
Jan 20, 2020
Unlikely to play
Green (illness) will be active but won't play unless needed, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green isn't starting Monday's matchup, and he's likely active because the Warriors only have eight other players suiting up. Eric Paschall draws the start at power forward in Green's stead.
Jan 20, 2020
Back on injury report
Green is questionable for Monday's game against Portland due to illness.
ANALYSIS
Green appears to have recovered from a finger sprain, but he's now dealing with an illness. The Warriors will announce his availability closer to tipoff.
Jan 19, 2020
Not listed on injury report
Green (finger) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Blazers.
ANALYSIS
A sprained finger sidelined Green for Saturday's game against Orlando, but all indications are that he'll return to action Monday night. Green has averaged 5.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks over his last five contests.
Jan 17, 2020
Out with finger sprain
Green won't play Saturday against Orlando due to a sprained left finger.
ANALYSIS
Green appears to have suffered the injury during Thursday's matchup, and it'll cost him at least one matchup. Eric Paschall and Omari Spellman are the favorites to start in his place.
Jan 12, 2020
Scores three but stuffs stat sheet
Green registered three points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, four assists, three steals and three blocks in 23 minutes during Sunday's 122-102 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Green finished with as many turnovers as assists and struggled to score but filled up the box score despite his modest minute total. He has been held to single digits in scoring in five straight games to begin January, and he has played less than half the game in three of those.
Jan 9, 2020
Full line in Wednesday's loss
Green (ankle) registered five points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists, two steals and a block in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 107-98 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Shot selection and turnovers (four) were the only issues in what was a workable, near-double-double stat line for the 29-year-old forward. Green's ankle injury is just one in a list of many that have affected him this season, but he still has some decent value to fantasy managers and perhaps more once guard D'Angelo Russell (shoulder) returns.
Jan 6, 2020
Expected to play Wednesday
Green (ankle) is expected to play Wednesday against Milwaukee, Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
It appears as though Green, who is already ruled out for Monday's contest, will return to the court when the Warriors face the Bucks on Wednesday barring any major setbacks, as mentioned by coach Steve Kerr. Rookie Eric Paschall figures to play a major role with Green sidelined Monday, but could then return to a normal one when the All-Star likely returns to the lineup Wednesday.
Jan 5, 2020
Listed as out Monday
Green (ankle) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Green did not practice Sunday due to an ankle injury he picked up during Saturday's game, and the Warriors will now hold him out of action Monday. He'll be joined on the sideline by D'Angelo Russell (shoulder) and Kevon Looney (abdominal).
Jan 5, 2020
Picks up ankle injury
Green didn't practice Sunday due to an ankle injury and is questionable for Monday's game at Sacramento, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Geen apparently picked up the ankle injury before being ejected during the third quarter of Saturday's loss to the Pistons. Coach Steven Kerr indicated after the game the veteran forward looked "tired" and may receive some rest, so the ankle issue could prompt him to sit out a game or two.
Nov 20, 2019
Questionable for Wednesday
Coach Steve Kerr said Green is questionable for Wednesday's with an unspecified injury, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has battled an elbow injury but that isn't the cause for his late addition to Wednesday's injury report. The 29-year-old may simply be banged up after playing a season-high 35 minutes in Tuesday's win over Memphis. Kerr indicated that even if Green plays Wednesday, the team will attempt to give him an off day in the near future, per Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Oct 24, 2019
Returns to contest
Green (elbow) started the second quarter of Thursday's game against the Clippers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green went to the locker room and was diagnosed with a right elbow contusion, but he was able to check back into the game shortly after returning.
Oct 24, 2019
Heads to locker room
Green went to the locker room early in the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Clippers due to a right arm injury, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Green was spotted holding his right forearm and elbow before walking to the locker room with the team trainer. He later returned to the bench with his elbow wrapped, indicating that he may return to the contest.
