NBC Sports Bay Area’s Monte Poole spoke with Green as he walked to the team bus in Portland on Thursday, with the 34-year-old making it clear he is doing well.
Draymond limped on his way to the bus. Asked him about it. The response was the same as that of most professional athletes who limped after the race: “I’m fine, man.” https://t.co/g50GTyvhEo

Green scored eight points, grabbed six rebounds and picked up his first technical foul of the season.
Melton added 10 points on 4-for-11 shooting while dishing out four assists in his Warriors debut.
The Warriors played their first game of the season, but suffered a few bumps and bruises along the way.
