Warriors’ Draymond Green Reinstated From Suspension After 12-Game Absence

Draymond Green Warriors NBA

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is one step closer to returning to the court.

The NBA officially reinstated Green from his indefinite suspension on Saturday. Green missed the Warriors’ last 12 games after striking Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkić in the face on Dec. 12.

Green is expected to be with the Warriors on Sunday when they host the Toronto Raptors but won’t play, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Green reportedly will need one week to ramp up before returning to the court.

“Green completed steps that demonstrated his commitment to conforming his conduct to standards expected of NBA players,” the league said in a statement. “He has engaged in meetings with a counselor and has met jointly on multiple occasions with representatives of the NBA, the Warriors and the NBAPA, both of which will continue throughout the season.”

Green is set to return to the Warriors from his indefinite suspension, the NBA announced Saturday.

The Warriors went 7–5 without Green at the facility, and they’ll have a few more games before he returns to the court. Golden State is scheduled to play the Toronto Raptors on Sunday and the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday before a back-to-back against the Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks on Friday and Saturday.
