The Golden State Warriors suffered another disappointing loss on Tuesday, falling to the Minnesota Timberwolves, 129-114. The Dubs were shorthanded in this one with a few key players missing due to injury, and it is clear at this point that this team is in a bit of a slump.

After the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr talked to the media about what's ahead for his team. One of the questions he was asked about was Green's extended absence with the former Defensive Player of the Year still rehabbing from a lingering back injury. At this point, it is clear that coach Kerr wants to get Draymond back as soon as possible:

“Yes,” Kerr answered with a smile when asked if he'd like for Draymond to be around the team more (h/t Anthony Slater of The Athletic).

It's hard to read too much into this statement from Steve Kerr. After all, he did respond with just one word.

For his part, Green has been busy with some extra co-curricular work outside of basketball with his podcast going on as well as a series of appearances as an analyst for NBA on TNT. Be that as it may, you cannot fault the 31-year-old for his commitment to his team, particularly when he's healthy.
