Draymond Green plans season debut vs. Rockets, source says - ESPN

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green plans to make his season debut Sunday against the Houston Rockets, a source told Andscape's Marc J. Spears on Saturday.

Green had missed the first two games of the season after suffering a left lateral ankle sprain during a pickup game three days before training camp began. He had been progressing his on-court activity and was taking part in 5-on-5 play as of Sunday and a controlled scrimmage Monday.

Coach Steve Kerr said earlier this week that the Warriors didn't want to quickly put Green on the court without some scrimmage time.

Green, a four-time All-Star, has missed only two season openers in his career. He also did not play in the Warriors' first game of 2020-21 because of right foot soreness.
