Warriors' Draymond Green: Modest production in win
Rotowire
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.
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.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Set to return Tuesday
Rotowire
Green (suspension) isn't listed on the Warriors' injury report for Tuesday's matchup versus the Kings.
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.
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.
Green was ejected from Tuesday's tilt -- marking his second removal in 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. Green's 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 next opportunity to play. In his stead, expect Jonathan Kuminga, Dario Saric and Trayce Jackson-Davis to see more action.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Ejected yet again
Rotowire
Green was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul and was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves with 10:17 remaining in the first quarter for his role in an on-court fight, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He recorded two rebounds and one turnover before his ejection.
Green drew the flagrant foul when he wrapped his arm around Rudy Gobert's neck, after Gobert was one of several players who rushed toward Klay Thompson and Jaden McDaniels, who tussled after getting tangled up with one another in transition. Along with Thompson and McDaniels, Green was also ejected from the contest, marking the second time in three games that he's been tossed early. The NBA will presumably review the incident before the Warriors play again Thursday versus the Thunder, and given the nature of his actions against Gobert as well as his history of on-court infractions, Green could be facing a suspension.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
Green (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
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.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Questionable for Wednesday
Rotowire
Green is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to personal reasons.
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.
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.
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. Green's real-life 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.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Sniffs double-double
Rotowire
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.
Green reliably delivers in multiple categories, and he produced solid numbers in every major category during the win. His best results through three games have come as a ball distributor. He's collected a whopping 21 assists over three games since his season debut.
Green ended with six points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven assists, six rebounds and one block across 22 minutes in Monday's 130-102 victory over the Pelicans.
Playing for the second time this season after missing the Warriors' first two games of the campaign while recovering from an ankle sprain, Green turned in a balanced performance across the stat sheet. The Warriors' 28-point margin of victory contributed to Green's minutes being suppressed, but he still managed to finish with five or more rebounds and assists for the second straight contest.

Green just returned from his ankle injury Sunday night and seemed fine in 21 minutes, and the Warriors giving him 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.
