Sun Jan 19 02:10:00 UTC 2025: **Warriors’ Draymond Green Probable to Return, But Other Injuries Linger; Explores Media Career**
**San Francisco, CA** – Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is expected to return to the court on Saturday against the Washington Wizards after missing the team’s last three games due to a back injury and illness. However, the team will continue to be without Kyle Anderson (left gluteal bursitis), Brandin Podziemski (right abdominal injury), and Jonathan Kuminga (right ankle sprain).
While Green’s return is a positive for the Warriors, the veteran forward is also reportedly exploring opportunities in the media. His agent confirmed that Green has held preliminary discussions with several major NBA media partners, including ABC/ESPN, NBC, and Amazon, about future broadcasting roles. Green has prior experience with TNT.
Meanwhile, speculation surrounding potential trade acquisitions for the Warriors continues, with various names being mentioned, including Kelly Olynyk. However, these discussions appear to be largely conjecture and not based on concrete reports. One report suggesting strong Warriors interest in centers like Nikola Vucevic is considered standard negotiating tactics by some fans. The focus remains on the team’s immediate return to the court with Green’s probable return offering a boost to their lineup.
