Draymond Green’s status is a big unknown going into the 2022-23 NBA season.
Last week, news broke that Green got into a physical altercation with Jordan Poole in practice. While members of the Warriors downplayed the incident, video of Green punching Poole leaked a few days later and is said to have impacted the way the team has been able to move forward.
Warriors general manager Bob Myers said before the video came out that any suspension or fine would be handled internally and that he didn’t expect the four-time All-Star to miss any games. Does that mean Green will play in Golden State’s preseason matchup with Portland?
Here’s the latest on Green’s status for Tuesday’s game.

Green averaged 7.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game in the 2021-22 season. Injuries limited him to 46 games, but he still earned an All-Star selection and All-Defensive Second Team selection.
