Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters Tuesday night that Draymond Green will rejoin Golden State on Thursday and that the All-Star forward has been fined for the practice altercation that took place last week. Green will not be suspended for the incident, which involved him swinging a punch at teammate Jordan Poole. He is expected to play in the preseason finale Friday against the Nuggets and on opening night next Tuesday against the Lakers.

Steve Kerr says conversations with Jordan Poole, his demeanor & his response are big reasons why the Warriors decided not to suspend Draymond Green for the punch. #dubnation – 1:33 AM

More on this storyline
Anthony Slater: Here is Steve Kerr’s full statement on the Draymond Green punishment. Fine not a suspension. Called it the “biggest crisis” they’ve faced since he’s been with Warriors. -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / October 12, 2022
“From what I understand, he will be away from the team until the players decide that it is time for him to comeback,” said Zach Lowe. Lowe also reported that there had been no prior thought amongst the Warriors of Green’s extension status being an issue based on his behavior during camp and preseason. -via RealGM / October 12, 2022
“I’ve been told emphatically that this will not be a front office and coach driven decision,” said Lowe. “It’s from the players and Jordan is the number one guy that they’re following his lead,” said Kendra Andrews. -via RealGM / October 12, 2022
