Green’s absence has not helped the Warriors one bit. However, his progress started to pick up days before the Suns game when he scrimmaged with the team. He also practiced with the team the following day, February 1st.

Head coach Steve Kerr discussed the progress that Green was making after January’s closer on Friday.

“We are expecting him to play next week sometime,” Kerr said. “Not sure which game but we will see how he comes out but he’s scrimmaged and did fine so he’s on the right track.”

Green has averaged 8.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 5.4 assists while shooting 42/36/62 from the field. His help to the Warriors has been needed as Golden State has a record of 6-8 without Green on the court this season.
