According to a tweet this morning by Marc J. Spears of ESPN, it has been reported that Golden State Warriors star forward Draymond Green will be active tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers at Oracle Arena.

Green, who has been dealing with right shoulder soreness, will be in the Warriors' lineup for the first time since a Dec. 8 matchup against the Detroit Pistons.

Green has missed the Warriors' last four games with his sore right shoulder, but Golden State hasn't skipped a beat with the absence of its star forward since it has gone a perfect 4-0 during that span. The Warriors also have not had the services of star point guard Steph Curry in the lineup, who is dealing with a badly sprained right ankle and will likely miss the Warriors' game on Christmas Day against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In 25 starts this season for Golden State, Green has a very impressive stat line across the board. Green is currently averaging 10.1 points, 7.3 assists, 7.2 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocked shots per game in roughly 32.2 minutes of action per contest.

Both matchups played this season between Golden State and Los Angeles this season at Staples Center have had the thrilling contests each go to overtime, with the Warriors winning on Nov. 29 and then again on Dec. 18.
