The Warriors announced Thursday that an MRI on Green's calf came back clean, and he could return to action for Friday's game versus the Timberwolves.
While Green has avoided a serious injury, he has already been ruled out for Thursday's contest against Houston. Until the 34-year-old forward is able to suit up, Jonathan Kuminga will likely continue to receive increased playing time.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Will not play Thursday
Rotowire
Green (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Houston.
Green was scheduled for an MRI on Wednesday, although results have yet to be shared. Thursday's contest represents the front half of a back-to-back set, with Minnesota coming to town Friday, so Green's left calf tightness will likely be handled with an abundance of caution. Stephen Curry (ankle management) will also be inactive Thursday.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Siting out Tuesday
Rotowire
Green (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.
Head coach Steve Kerr had already hinted Monday that Green would probably miss Tuesday's contest, and the forward's absence has now been confirmed. The Warriors have already been using a 12-man rotation when at full strength, but with Green out, Kerr will likely condense the rotation to 11. Green's minutes will likely be filtered among a number of players, with Jonathan Kuminga and Kyle Anderson being two candidates to see increased run.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Considered doubtful for Tuesday
Rotowire
Coach Steve Kerr said Green, who's officially listed as questionable, didn't practice Monday due to calf tightness and is considered doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Despite being listed as questionable, it sounds like Green is going to miss his first game of the season. Golden State has a deep rotation this year, so many players will likely step up, but Jonathan Kuminga, Kyle Anderson and Andrew Wiggins will likely benefit the most if Green is ultimately sidelined, as expected. The severity of Green's calf injury remains unclear, but following Tuesday's contest, the Warriors have a back-to-back set against the Rockets on Thursday and the Timberwolves on Friday.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Hands out seven dimes Saturday
Rotowire
Green amassed 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 113-105 loss to the Suns.
Green was efficient with his shot and handed out seven dimes, making it the 11th straight game in which he dished out at least six assists. The veteran forward has recorded double-digit points just five times in that span, and while his scoring numbers aren't impressive by any means, he remains valuable in most formats due to his ability to fill the stat sheet on a regular basis.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Tallies first double-double
Rotowire
Green racked up 14 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists over 35 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 127-121 overtime victory over the Rockets.
Green was efficient on the offensive end but struggled from the charity stripe, where he hit 55.6 percent of his tries. His rebounding numbers have been noticeably down to kick off the 2024-25 campaign, so it was a positive sign to see him round back into form during the team's third straight win.
