Draymond Green will return to the Golden State Warriors for Game 4 after a one-game suspension. However, Green’s return to the Warriors’ starting lineup will have to wait.
Golden State will bench Green in Game 4 of the first round against the Sacramento Kings. The Warriors won Game 3 behind a first set that included Jordan Paul who was elevated to start along with regular openers Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Kevon Looney.
Green has only come off the bench sporadically since becoming a regular in 2014-15. Green’s last playoff game off the bench in nearly nine years came on April 24, 2014.
