After missing the last three games due to an illness and back injury, Draymond Green returned to the court for the Golden State Warriors on Saturday evening against Jordan Poole and the Washington Wizards. However, his return to the court didn’t last long. Early in the first quarter, Green exited the game against the Wizards with an apparent injury.
Following his exit from the game, Green made his way from the sideline to the locker room. Green was later ruled out of the remainder of the game with left calf tightness.
After Golden State’s 122-114 win over Washington on Saturday night, Steve Kerr revealed Green is set to undergo an MRI on his calf.
