Speaking on NBA Countdown, ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski said that Draymond Green is 7-to-10 days out from a return to the Golden State Warriors. Green hasn't played January 5, while dealing with a back injury. Green did appear for seven seconds on January 9, but that was just to be on the floor for Klay Thompson's return game.

All told, Green has missed 30 of the Warriors 64 games this season. Golden State is 15-15 in games when Green doesn't play, including a current four-game losing streak.

All along, the Warriors have said they won't rush Green back. They know he's key to making a playoff run. Golden State isn't overly worried about seeding either, believing that health is more important than playoff positioning.
