Draymond Green does not appear to be overly concerned with the sprained ankle that forced him to leave Saturday’s game.
During the fourth quarter of the Golden State Warriors’ loss to the Houston Rockets, Green landed awkwardly on the foot of DeMarcus Cousins. After lying on the floor for a few moments, Green exited and did not return to the game.
On Sunday, Green was listed as questionable for the team’s game on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. He got some shots up after practice and declared himself probable for the game.
Draymond Green’s ankle injury isn’t serious. Getting shots up after the Warriors late night practice in Charlotte right now. Sounds like there’s a chance he may even play tomorrow.

Earlier in the season, the Warriors exercised caution with Green during his recovery from a troublesome toe injury. For the Warriors, the focus is ensuring good health when the playoffs roll around. While Green may feel like he’s good to go on Monday, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Golden State held him out a game or two just to be certain Green is 100 percent before returning.
