Warriors' Draymond Green: 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.

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.
