Warriors remain committed to Draymond Green
There is another potentially influential factor connected to moving Kuminga or even Andrew Wiggins: Draymond Green. Green was cleared from suspension by the NBA on Saturday and went through a walkthrough with his teammates three hours before tipoff against the Raptors. The Warriors remain committed to Green, who along with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, compose the team’s veteran core. Though multiple league sources tell NBC Sports Bay Area that Golden State will be active approaching the deadline, there has been nothing to indicate a move that would break up that decorated trio.

Moses Moody is on the hallway bike staying warm. GP2 went over to talk to him, and wave to Draymond’s son DJ in the Curry family seats. This has been your “what’s happening in the hallway” report. – 8:49 PM

Andrew Wiggins is back in the starting lineup after 10 games off the bench, alongside Jonathan Kuminga, who’s gripes with Steve Kerr just went public, all while the recently reinstated Draymond Green is nearing a return from suspension. Interesting times in Golden State. – 8:22 PM

Draymond Green is back with the Warriors. He was with them for their walkthrough pregame tonight. No word on how extensive his ramp up process will be. Practices, scrimmages ahead before Rick Celebrini clears Green for a return. – 6:48 PM

Ahora viene la parte más difícil y delicada para la NBA (y para Draymond Green); poner a prueba la eficacia del tratamiento de un jugador con dificultad en el manejo de su ira.
Hay mucho en juego para Green y @Warriors.
