The Warriors have given Draymond Green a probable status for Thursday's game in LA due to a left calf strain. Green recently missed seven straight games due to injury but is on pace to play his third consecutive game since returning.

Golden State was in need of a spark, and they’ll head into Butler’s debut on Saturday with a 25-26 record, currently sitting outside the Western Conference playoff picture. Draymond Green praised general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. for pulling the trigger on the move and emphasized that it’s now on him and his teammates to make it work.
