For years, Draymond Green has been one of the most important parts of the Golden State Warriors.
Not only is he an offensive and defensive powerhouse, but Green also fosters a strong chemistry within the team’s roster.
The Warriors always miss Green when he is gone.
He didn’t participate in Wednesday night’s game against the Denver Nuggets due to personal reasons, but he will be back very soon, according to head coach Steve Kerr.
“[Draymond] will be ready to go,” Kerr told 95.7 The Game about the team’s next game on Saturday.

Green could have been a huge help to the Warriors when they played against the Nuggets.
They tried to slow Nikola Jokic and his squad down, but that was an impossible task, as it is for many other teams across the association.
Still, the Warriors kept it close and only lost by three points.
It wasn’t clear why Green was out of the game as “personal reasons” could mean a number of things.
Regardless, he will be ready to play when they face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday.
That will mark the start of a six-game stand at home, which will give the Warriors plenty of chances to improve their 6-3 record.
Green has only participated in 6 games so far this season because he didn’t start on opening night due to an injury.
But since suiting up, Green has averaged 10.3 points, 5 rebounds, and 6.7 assists.
At 33 years old, Green is again proving he can do a lot for the Warriors.
Now they are just hoping he can remain on the court for an extended period of time.
