After suffering a mild late-game left knee injury during the fourth quarter of Thursday's Game 2 against the Utah Jazz, forward Draymond Green has been listed as probable for Saturday's Game 3 at Salt Lake City, according to Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated.
The Golden State Warriors all-around engine attempted to get up in a hurry after a collision with center Rudy Gobert, but ended up tweaking his left knee in the process, remaining on the floor for a few seconds before going back into the locker room on his own.
Green eventually came back into the game and helped his team put away the Jazz and get a 2-0 lead in the series.

“In my mind, he's playing,” said an optimistic interim head coach Mike Brown, according to Rosalyn Gold-Onwude of NBC Sports Bay Area.
The Defensive Player of the Year candidate doesn't seem bothered by his small setback, reminiscing of a time where this same injury didn't keep him off the floor.
“One time it happened in college and I out-rebounded Michigan two days later, their whole team,” said a confident Green, per Janie McCauley of The Associated Press.
Green shined once again during Game 2, putting out an unforeseen display of long-range marksmanship, going 5-of-8 from beyond the arc. The Michigan State alum had 21 points, seven rebounds, six assists, four steals, and a block through 36 minutes on the floor.
