Draymond Green updated injury status for Warriors-Pacers

On December 26, 2024By Littum

The Golden State Warriors were able to avoid a four-game losing streak this past Saturday, leaving Minnesota with a 113-103 win over the Timberwolves backed by Stephen Curry’s 31-point double-double. They will aim to turn their previous losing streak into back-to-back wins when they return home to the Chase Center to host the Indiana Pacers.

Against the Timberwolves last Saturday, the Warriors were without defensive anchor Draymond Green, who missed the contest with a left ankle injury. With his status questionable heading into tonight’s matchup, the team has provided an update on where the former All-Star stands.

Green will return to the Warriors tonight after being cleared during pregame warmups. In this matchup, Golden State will look to him to provide defense against Indiana All-Star forward Pascal Siakam, who is currently averaging 22.3 points and 10.3 rebounds during the Pacers’ four-game winning streak.

In addition, Green will win the start for Golden State tonight, his 23rd of the season.

It was announced earlier this season that the Warriors would bench Green in favor of Jonathan Kuminga, who has since returned to the bench for the last two games. New acquisition Dennis Schröder will look to log his first double-digit scoring game as a Warrior, with Green helping improve the playmaking.

Heading into tonight’s contest, Green is averaging 8.9 points, 6.0 rebounds and 5.6 assists while averaging one block and one steal.
