Draymond Green and Klay Thompson will be back for the team's fifth and final preseason game against the Denver Nuggets according to Steve Kerr.After taking a self-imposed hiatus after punching teammate Jordan Poole during practise, Green has returned to the Warriors. Green was permitted to return on Friday and will likely start on opening night after coaches and players, notably Poole, determined that a ban was not necessary.
For his first preseason game of the year, Thompson is back with the club. There are no reports of any ailments for Thompson, but owing to prior injuries he received over the last couple of years, he has been careful about playing over the summer. Green, Thompson, Stephen Curry, Andrew Wiggins, and Kevon Looney make up the original starting lineup from the championship squad from the previous year.
