Green's knee flared up before the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but the MRI later revealed no significant damage.

Even with Green's return, the Warriors will still be without Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins for the game against Portland.

Jonathan Kuminga will likely move back to the bench with Green's return, while the starting lineup will likely feature Poole, Thompson, DiVincenzo, and Looney alongside Green.
