Draymond Green was not placed on a minutes restriction, as Steve Kerr allowed him ample playing time. In those 28:56 minutes, the forward totaled four points, five assists and seven rebounds while finishing the night with a box plus-minus of +9.

At no point during the contest did "Dray" show any signs of pain from his calf injuries. This is great news for Warriors fans, as it suggests that Green will be fully fit for the upcoming seven-game road trip.

What injury did Draymond Green suffer?

During the Warriors’ Jan. 18 clash against the Washington Wizards, Green left the game merely three minutes after tip-off with a left calf injury. MRI results confirmed that the four-time champ suffered a “mild calf strain”.

However, after yesterday night’s clash against the Orlando Magic, the 2017 Defensive Player of the Year revealed that he had sustained a small tear in his left calf.

“I had a little small tear in my calf, and so I was just rehabbing it. The first few days, it was really sore. And then after that, gradually got better,” Green said.

During Draymond Green's seven-game absence, the Warriors struggled with consistency, suffering losses to the Boston Celtics, Sacramento Kings, Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns. However, they managed to secure an impressive victory against the league-leading Oklahoma City Thunder.

With Green back in the lineup, Steve Kerr hopes his team can build momentum and string together multiple wins to climb the standings. Currently, the Warriors hold the 10th spot in the Western Conference with a 25-24 record, trailing the sixth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers by three games.
