Draymond Green Confirmed as Starter While Warriors Face Open Battles

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr announced that Draymond Green will definitively start alongside Steph Curry, leaving the remaining three starting spots up for grabs in an open competition. Kerr noted players like Gui Santos are in the mix. The Warriors face lineup uncertainty entering the 2026-27 season due to long-term injuries to Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody, Kristaps Porziņģis' indefinite absence, and Al Horford sitting out back-to-backs.
