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