Draymond Green Says There’s a Sense of Urgency to Return to Warriors Lineup

All that being said you you you are returning to you know a 17 and 19 team that pretty clearly needs you um how close do you feel uh and you know how urgent does this situation feel from just a professional it’s it’s urgent from a professional standpoint because I

Wasn’t hurt you know at least my body wasn’t hurt uh my mind was hurt my feelings was hurt uh but it wasn’t like some injury costed me off the four so it’s very urgent because I’ve cost my team enough you know I’ve cost this organization enough you know

And so um it’s not a time for me to just come back and be like all right I’m going to take my time and get back when I can no like you cost this yourself and so you don’t get the grace and although I’m very appreciative of our

Organization um you know number one for the support um but number two like they’re putting the plan together ramp up if it was up to me I would love to come back and play right now reality is it’s probably not the best thing for me or the best thing from an organizational

Standpoint and and what that looks like moving forward and and the risk of injury and all those things but you know there’s a human component of this as well and you know um you sit home and you watch these games and as a competitor you want to help and so and then returning

Um it’s funny coach said welcome back in film yesterday and BP start clapping and they start and everybody start clapping I’m like well I’m not sure I deserve a round of applause like but I’ll take it but you know it it’s like in in that like half joking but like you don’t you

Don’t just get Grace and I I’ll take my time and get back when I can like I’m coming back from a suspension not an injury and so there’s a huge sense of urgency and I pushed it like crazy today and I’m G push it like crazy every day um until I

Can get back on the floor because number one I think it’s also important for these guys to know and understand that you know I’m I’m not approaching this like I’m going just take my time and get back when I can I’m going to do all that

I can to meet the requirements that I have to meet uh with our Performance Group in order to get back on the court and I’m trying to do that as fast as I can whatever work that requires that’s what I’m do

Draymond Green spoke to the media for the first time since his indefinite suspension, saying he would love to get back on the court for the Warriors right away, but is doing what is best for the team. “”I’ve cost my team enough. I’ve cost this organization enough.” (via @NBCSAuthentic)
