Durant, Curry ejected late in Warriors’ defeat

Draymond Green will return to the Golden State Warriors for Game 4 after a one-game suspension. However, Green’s return to the Warriors starting lineup will have to wait.

Golden State will bring Green off the bench for Game 4 of their first-round series against the Sacramento Kings. The Warriors won Game 3 behind starting group that included Jordan Poole elevated to starting alongside regular openers Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Kevon Looney.

Green has only sporadically come off the bench since becoming a regular starter in 2014-15. Green’s last playoff game off the bench came nearly nine years ago on April 24, 2014.
