Draymond Green is back.
Green, who was suspended indefinitely after he struck Jusuf Nurkić in the head last month, will make his return with the Golden State Warriors on Monday for their game against the Memphis Grizzlies, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Green has missed the last 16 games, but was officially reinstated last week.

Green’s indefinite suspension was his second of the season. He missed five games after he put Rudy Gobert in a chokehold in the opening seconds of a game in November.
Green has averaged 9.7 points, 5.8 assists and 5.5 rebounds in 15 games with the Warriors this season, his 12th in the league. The Warriors went 8-8 without Green, and have lost three of their last four games headed into Monday night’s game in Memphis.
