Warriors forward Draymond Green plans to make his season debut Sunday against the Rockets, a source told Andscape.
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.
He said Saturday that he hopes to play in both games of the back-to-back, as the Warriors play at the on Monday. Green referenced the new rules this season that mandate players participate in 65 regular-season games to be eligible for postseason awards."I got goals," Green said."Not exactly sure what they are yet, but I got to play in 65 games."
Green said he would be under an unspecified minutes restriction and was not sure if he would start or come off the bench. A four-time All-Star, Green 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.
