Draymond Green has not suited up for the Golden State Warriors for the last 10 games. The former DPOY is serving an indefinite suspension for his controversial actions against Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic. Draymond has been spending time away from his teammates to reflect on his actions and work on himself. However, there have been rumors about Green returning to the Warriors facility to ramp up his return from suspension.

Warriors’ head coach Steve Kerr addressed the rumors and gave a passive-aggressive response to shut them down immediately. Steve Kerr was asked if the rumors about Draymond Green returning to the Warriors facility were true. Kerr was not pleased and had a harsh response: “I don’t know that. Apparently, someone else does, but I don’t.”

There has been no update from the league or the Golden State Warriors about when Draymond is expected to return to action. Meanwhile, Draymond has been working out and staying in game shape to stay ready whenever his number is called. According to Kerr, Draymond is still staying away from his teammates and working to return as a better player.

The Warriors’ head coach also revealed why the decision to separate Draymond from his teammates during the suspension was made. “This was not a sprained ankle. This was not a twisted knee. It is an issue that Draymond is trying to get help with, and some space was important for him and for us.”

Kerr claimed it was the best way to move forward. Draymond is dealing with his situation, and the rest of the Warriors squad is focused on winning more games and turning their season around.

The Warriors are facing a tough challenge tonight

Stephen Curry and Co. are 6-4 since Draymond Green’s suspension. So, they are managing to stay afloat in the absence of one of their best players. However, they are facing a tough challenge tonight as they will go head-to-head against the defending champions, the Denver Nuggets. Nikola Jokic and Co. dominated the Warriors on Christmas Day, and they will hope to repeat the outcome in their first match-up of 2024. The Joker is playing at an MVP level, averaging 25.7 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 9.1 assists. It will be tough for the Warriors to contain the 2-time MVP without Draymond Green’s defensive expertise.
