Draymond started against the Houston Rockets in Golden State’s 122-121 season-opening loss on Tuesday, but only saw 27 minutes before straining his knee in the third quarter. He managed to score nine points with 13 assists and 11 rebounds, falling one point shy of a triple double.

Nonetheless, Green reassured the media that he was not concerned about his injury. Green told Chris Haynes of ESPN, “I’ll be good. I’m fine,” and signs are pointing towards him being correct.
