Warriors' Draymond Green: Expects to play through injury
Rotowire
Green was wearing a walking boot after Thursday's game against the 76ers but intends to continue playing through a right foot injury, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
The severity of Green foot issue is unclear at this time, though he mentioned in the postgame media scrum that he suffered the injury when Dominick Barlow landed on his right foot in the first half. Green will likely be re-evaluated over the next day or so as the team prepares to face off against Cleveland on Saturday.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Heads to locker room
Rotowire
Green went to the locker room during the second quarter of Thursday's game against the 76ers due to an apparent right foot/ankle injury, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Green was favoring his right foot as he slowly made his way to the locker room. The Warriors are already thin without Stephen Curry (quadriceps) and Jimmy Butler (knee), so it would likely be up to Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis to pick up the slack at center if Green is unable to return.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Teases triple-double in loss
Rotowire
Green totaled 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, eight assists and two blocks over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 104-100 loss to the Rockets.
It was a vintage performance from the veteran center, and the closest he's come this season to recording his 34th career triple-double. Green has had a little trouble staying on the court of late due to minor ailments, but the Warriors may need to lean on him a little more heavily if Stephen Curry (quadriceps) ends up missing significant time. Over his last five appearances, Green is averaging 9.8 points, 7.6 boards, 7.0 assists, 1.8 blocks, 1.6 threes and 1.0 steals in 31.4 minutes a contest.

Rotowire
Green (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Green was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, and the Warriors are likely to see how he's progressing closer to Wednesday's tipoff before updating his status. Should the veteran forward need to sit out, more playing time would be available to Quinten Post at center and Moses Moody at power forward.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Not expected to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Shams Charania of ESPN reported on NBA Today that Green (illness), who's officially listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat, is not expected to play.
Charania also said that Butler, who is also questionable, isn't expected to play. If that's the case, Green and Butler will join Stephen Curry (ankle), Al Horford (rest) and Jonathan Kuminga (knees) on the sidelines. With so many veterans out for the second half of a back-to-back set, Will Richard, Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody should get all the usage they can handle.

Stephen Curry (ankle), Jonathan Kuminga (knees) and Al Horford (rest) have already been ruled out, while Jimmy Butler (back) and Buddy Hield (illness) are questionable. The Warriors may need guys like Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis to soak up a lot of minutes with the Warriors very shorthanded.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Struggles against Wembanyama
Rotowire
Green supplied six points (3-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, eight assists and three blocks over 33 minutes during Friday's 109-108 win over the Spurs.
Victor Wembanyama held court in the paint Friday evening, but Green refused to go down without a fight. Referees had to separate the big men in the fourth quarter after they contested for an inbounds pass. Green then committed two fouls in the span of a few seconds. He yelled a few choice words at the official who made the second call, narrowly avoiding a technical foul. Although Green salvaged his line with good secondary numbers, he only converted 25 percent of his shots and missed all four of his attempts beyond the arc.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Subpar line vs. San Antonio
Rotowire
Green had six points (1-10 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 27 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 125-120 victory over San Antonio.
Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler led the way for the Warriors in this win against a rising Spurs team, but Green didn't have his best performance. He endured a tough matchup against Victor Wembanyama and was unable to make an impact defensively while also being limited to a poor 1-for-10 shooting performance. Green will aim to bounce back Friday in a rematch against San Antonio.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Returns to action with 17 points
Rotowire
Green produced 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Friday's 129-104 loss to Denver.
Green produced his best scoring total of the season during the blowout loss and was one of just two players in the starting lineup to record a double-digit result. The Warriors lack efficiency without Stephen Curry (illness) in the lineup, but Green appeared to be immune to his absence and held up against Nikola Jokic for most of the game. Green was also deadly beyond the arc, drilling a season-high five three-pointers.
