Green (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Green will sit out the first leg of this back-to-back set, but he should return for Monday's game against the Suns. Graham Ike, Al Horford and Charles Bassey will help pick up the slack with Green inactive Sunday.
Green posted three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 119-114 win over the Timberwolves.
Green attempted just three shots but remained productive as a rebounder, facilitator and defensive presence. His nine boards and six assists helped offset the minimal scoring contribution, while two blocks added further fantasy value. Green's limited offensive involvement continues to restrict his scoring ceiling, but his consistent playing time and ability to contribute across multiple categories make him a useful option in category-based formats.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Doubtful to play Saturday
Rotowire
Green is doubtful to play Saturday against the Suns due to bilateral low back soreness.
It's not surprising to see the Warriors take a cautious approach with Green on the second leg of a back-to-back set, and they'll make a final call on his availability closer to Saturday's 10 p.m. ET tipoff. If Green doesn't suit up against Phoenix, then Georges Niang could be in line for a bigger role in a depleted frontcourt that will also be without Al Horford (back injury management) while having Charles Bassey (knee) questionable.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Dishes out team-high eight assists
Rotowire
Green closed Wednesday's 127-105 loss to the Lakers with two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 21 minutes.
Green played the role of point guard Wednesday, handing out a team-high eight assists. The veteran forward's best fantasy days are behind him, but Green showed in the season opener he's still capable of chipping in across the board and could provide late-round fantasy appeal this season.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Floor general in preseason finale
Rotowire
Green posted seven points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 assists, eight rebounds and three steals over 24 minutes during Friday's 128-118 preseason win over Portland.
Green did a little bit of everything during Friday's exhibition contest, with five of his team-high 10 assists coming in the third quarter as he flirted with a triple-double. His box score production rarely matches his real-life importance on the floor, but Green's ability to satisfy multiple stats makes him a solid deep option on fantasy rosters.
Green (rest) is available and will start in Friday's preseason game versus Portland, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.
Green didn't play in Tuesday's 101-89 preseason win over the Lakers. He will be on the floor for the preseason finale and is expected to log 25-30 minutes.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Limited Tuesday, won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
Green will be limited to around 20 minutes in Tuesday's preseason contest against the Lakers and won't travel to Portland for Wednesday's back-to-back against the Trail Blazers, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
The Warriors are being cautious with Green's workload in the preseason, so he'll be limited to around 20 minutes Tuesday and won't suit up Wednesday. This is part of a long-term picture, as the idea is to have Green as healthy as possible for the start of the regular season against the Lakers on Oct. 21.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Will play Sunday
Rotowire
Green will play in Sunday's preseason game against the Clippers, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Head coach Steve Kerr stated Green, Stephen Curry and Al Horford would all be available for the preseason opener. However, all three will only play in the first half and be on the floor "around 12-16 minutes." Green most recently averaged 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists over 27.5 minutes in 68 regular-season games in 2025-26. While his production has remained the same for the most part in the last few seasons, his numbers could improve, considering Jimmy Butler (knee) will miss the start of the 2026-27 campaign. In addition, it's unknown if Kristaps Porzingis (undisclosed) will be ready to go for opening night.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Given green light from deep
Rotowire
Head coach Steve Kerr wants Green to shoot more open three-pointers this season, per Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com.
Green already took a career-high 4.6 three-point attempts per game last regular season, and it sounds like there's room for growth in that area. The veteran forward is worthy of a late-round pick in most fantasy leagues this fall, but he'll likely need the playmaking threats of Jimmy Butler (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) to be in the lineup in order to maximize his efficiency.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Returning to Warriors
Rotowire
Green agreed to re-sign with the Warriors on a one-year, $27.7 million deal Tuesday, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
After declining the player option on his previous contract earlier this summer, the longtime Warrior is now set for his 15th season with Golden State in 2026-27 following the negotiation of a new pact. Green is entering his age-36 campaign this coming season and appears to be in a state of decline, but he still showed the ability to chip in across the board in 2025-26. He started all 68 of his regular-season appearances, averaging 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 0.9 steals in 27.5 minutes per game.

Warriors' Draymond Green: To decline player option
Rotowire
Green will decline his $27.7 million player option, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Green is now scheduled to become a free agent. There will almost certainly be mutual interest in a return, but this gives the Warriors flexibility to pursue LeBron James in free agency and Anthony Davis via trade. Green, who is 36 years old, holds career regular-season averages of 8.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.3 steals.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Ejected in season-ending loss
Rotowire
Green was ejected with 1:04 remaining in the fourth quarter of Friday's 111-96 Play-In Tournament loss to the Suns after fouling out at the 1:06 mark. He closed with five points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists, two rebounds and one steal across 36 minutes.
Both Devin Booker and Green, who was on the bench, were ejected late in the fourth quarter. The veteran big man and the Warriors will now look ahead to next season, though Green does hold a $27.7 million player option for the 2026-27 campaign. He finished the regular season with averages of 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 0.9 steals across 27.5 minutes per game in 68 outings.

Suns' Devin Booker: Tossed Friday
Rotowire
Booker was ejected with 1:04 remaining in the fourth quarter of Friday's 111-96 Play-In Tournament win over the Warriors. He finished with 20 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 10-10 FT), eight assists, six rebounds and one steal across 42 minutes.
Both Draymond Green, who was on the bench after fouling out, and Booker were ejected late in the final quarter. The star guard and Jalen Green combined for 56 points as the Suns ended the Warriors' playoff hopes. Booker and the Suns are now set to face the Thunder in the first round of the playoffs.
Green notched seven points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, nine assists and four steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 126-121 Play-In Game win over the Clippers.
Green turned back the clock, completely locking down Kawhi Leonard during the fourth quarter, helping Golden State to an improbable victory. While it has been mostly a disappointing campaign from a statistical standpoint, Green was able to remind everyone just what he can do on the defensive end of the floor. The Warriors will now travel to Phoenix, with the winner going on to face the Thunder in the first round of the playoffs.
