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.
Green (rest) has been ruled out for Tuesday's preseason game against the Lakers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
The veteran big man will be held out of Tuesday's contest, with his last chance to suit up in the preseason coming Friday against Portland. Charles Bassey will get the starting nod in Green's absence.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Green (rest) will start in Saturday's exhibition against the Kings, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.
Green did not play in Wednesday's exhibition for maintenance reasons, but he's back and starting Saturday. Charles Bassey will return to the second unit with Green active.
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.
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.
