Ahead of Monday’s matchup against the Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr offered an update on the injury status of veteran forward Draymond Green, addressing questions about his availability after facing lower-body issues.
Green, a cornerstone of the Warriors’ defense and leadership group, has been dealing with a lower-body injury, and the organization listed him on the injury report for the upcoming contest.
Kerr spoke with reporters and clarified that while Green’s situation isn’t being taken lightly, the team has optimism about his recovery timeline and future availability.
The Warriors have been juggling health concerns for key players throughout the season, and Green’s absence has tested the team’s depth and defensive consistency.
Kerr indicated that he and the training staff are monitoring Green’s progress closely, emphasizing that they want to ensure he can return at full strength rather than rushing him back too soon.
Kerr’s approach to player health has been cautious but hopeful, as Golden State continues to navigate a demanding schedule and manage injuries across its veteran roster.
With the Heat game approaching, the team still hopes to get contributions from its experienced leaders, and Kerr underscored that the Warriors will continue to balance competitive urgency with long-term health priorities.
Fans can expect updates on Green’s status as the Warriors finalize preparations for Monday’s showdown.
