The three-time NBA champion has been out of action since January 9 with a back injury. He has missed 25 games, but is close to his return. Draymond Green had a workout at Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, Wojnarowski reported.

Green is averaging 7.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks this season, shooting at a career-best 53.7% from the field. The Warriors are 28-6 with Draymond Green in the lineup and 15-15 without the elite defender.

Golden State has been in free fall lately. They have lost four in a row and eight of their last 10. As a result, they have dropped to third in the West, at 43-21.

They are 0.5 games behind the Memphis Grizzlies (44-21) and eight behind league leaders Phoenix Suns (51-13).

The Warriors return to action on Monday with another road game, as they take on the Denver Nuggets.
