Former Oregon Duck Joe Young drops "74-piece chicken nugget" in CBA game

Draymond Green is expected to make his return to the Golden State Warriors lineup on Monday. The Warriors will play at the Memphis Grizzlies in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day matchup.

Green has missed Golden State’s last 16 games. The first 12 were missed due to suspension, with Green missing the last four as he ramped up his return-to-play conditioning.

Green was suspended indefinitely after striking Jusuf Nurkic in the face on December 12. The veteran forward had to undergo anger management therapy and to satisfy other concerns before the NBA would reinstate him. Green, the Warriors, the NBA and the NBPA were all involved in his return-to-play plan.

The Los Angeles Lakers picked up a big win without LeBron James when they defeated the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. D’Angelo Russell was a big part of the Lakers getting that win with 44 points. Russell had 21 fourth-quarter points, including the game-winner with 5.9 seconds to play.

Following the game, Russell said he welcomes the pressure. The Lakers guard said everything he’s been through has made him confident he’ll come through when it matters most.

“On the floor, I’ve always felt like I was capable of doing things, [and] getting hot makes it a little more exciting,” Russell said. “Off the floor, obviously you all know what I’ve been through. Public humiliation has done nothing but mold me into the killer that you all see today. I never lack confidence. I never fear confrontation. I want all the smoke. … I just feel confident in what I bring to the basketball game, so whatever room I walk in, I’m confident.”
