Warriors forward Draymond Green is officially listed as doubtful for Wednesday night’s game against Memphis, but general manager Bob Myers expects Green to return from his nagging shoulder injury later in the week.

“He wanted to play today, but he's being cautious,” Myers said Wednesday afternoon in an interview on 95.7 The Game. “I'd expect him back on Friday (against the Lakers) or Saturday (against the Nuggets). Earlier in his career, he probably wouldn't have told us about this injury, but he's smarter now.”

Green has been dealing with shoulder pain for two weeks. Two days after missing Golden State’s Dec. 6 win over Charlotte, he returned for the team’s win over Detroit, overcoming a 1-for-6 shooting night with 13 assists, six rebounds, six blocks and three steals.

Green has missed the Warriors’ past three games. Over the weekend, head coach Steve Kerr admitted, “It’s a little bit concerning that he hasn’t made more strides, but I still don’t think that there’s a major reason to have concern right now.”

Green was seen getting up shots at shoot-around Wednesday morning.
