SAN FRANCISCO — Draymond Green participated in team practice on Saturday for the first time since he was sidelined with a back injury, an encouraging development for a Golden State Warriors team in desperate need of his leadership on defense.
Progress came with some murky news, though; Green, rehabbing a lower back injury since Jan. 9, still hasn’t been told when he will return to game action. How his strength and conditioning progress on a day-to-day basis will determine a return date.
“Still a little ways away, but overall I feel great,” Green said. “I was dominating when I got hurt, I plan on coming back and dominating. I don’t want to limp back out there and figure it out as I go. I want to come back stronger than when I left. I’m still a little ways away from that. And that’s OK.”
