As speculation continues to swirl surrounding Draymond Green’s return, a potential timeline for the Warriors star to re-join the team has emerged on the heels of his indefinite suspension.
Green, who was suspended on Wednesday, is expected to miss extended time, though ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski predicted Friday there’s a chance he could return to the Warriors by Jan. 1. If so, the forward would miss nine games from the date of his suspension, placing him on track to play Jan. 2 against the Magic at Chase Center.
“I think there’s an expectation that you probably wouldn’t see Draymond Green until, probably, at least, the first of the year,” Wojnarowski said on NBA Countdown. “And that’s assuming things go as they hope they do, and Green meets the benchmarks, certainly, that are going to be put in front of him.”
