Steve Kerr Reveals Big Draymond Green Update

The Golden State Warriors could have Draymond Green back soon

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is no longer suspended by the NBA, but he has missed the last several games due to return to play reconditioning. The Warriors want to make sure Green is ready to return from a physical standpoint before clearing him to play, and head coach Steve Kerr revealed on Saturday that his return could be coming as soon as next game.

Golden State's next two games will come in Memphis and Utah, and Kerr told reporters before Saturday night's game in Milwaukee that Green has a chance to return in those games. This would be a big boost for a Warriors team that is trying to get back into the playoff picture.

While Green is of course not the player he once was, he had been playing some of his best basketball in recent years before being suspended for the second time this season. Shooting the three at a 42.9% clip (albeit on limited volume), Green has been knocking down shots this season in addition to everything else he provides on the floor. The problem is that Green has played just 15 games this season, as two separate suspensions have cost him most of the year.

Looking to return for good this time, Green has a chance to inject some life into a Warriors team that needs it.
