Green (illness) will be available to play Friday against the Trail Blazers.
Green is back after a one-game stint on the sidelines, which will result in Trayce Jackson-Davis heading back to the second unit. There will also be fewer minutes available for Quinten Post.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Likely to play Friday
Rotowire
Green (illness) is listed as probable for Friday's game against Portland.
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 is set to get its 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.

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.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Not expected to play Wednesday
Rotowire
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.
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.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Dealing with illness
Rotowire
Green (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami.
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.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Struggles against Wembanyama
Rotowire
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.
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.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Subpar line vs. San Antonio
Rotowire
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.
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.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Muted performance in loss
Rotowire
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.
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.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Returns to action with 17 points
Rotowire
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.
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 to 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.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Probable vs. Denver

Green (ribs) is probable for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
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.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Green is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings with a right rib contusion.
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.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Hands out six assists
Rotowire
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.
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.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Near triple-double territory in win
Rotowire
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.
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.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Flirts with triple-double
Rotowire
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.
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.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Won't go Tuesday
Rotowire
Green will not play in Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers for rest purposes, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
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 could be the main beneficiary in Green's absence.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Season ends with modest performance
Rotowire
Green contributed 10 points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Despite an improved performance, Green was still somewhat underwhelming in what proved to be the final game of the season. With Stephen Curry sidelined once again due to a hamstring injury, Green was unable to bolster his production. His offensive upside continues to dwindle, averaging just 9.0 points per game across 81 total games this season. With that said, he was able to increase his defensive contributions, averaging 2.5 combined steals and blocks. Age is not on the side of the Warriors, with its three star players all on the wrong side of 35.
