Draymond Green missed much of the preseason and the first two games of the regular season with a sprained left ankle suffered in a practice when he landed on Jonathan Kuminga’s foot.
Green is ready to play and will debut on Sunday against the Rockets, he told reporters after practice on Saturday.
Draymond Green said he will make his season debut on Sunday in Houston: “Tomorrow. For sure.” Said he expects a minute limit but doesn’t yet know if he is starting or coming off the bench.

Green, an All-Defensive Team selection a year ago, is the glue for the Warriors on the defensive end, plus he is a critical secondary playmaker for the Warriors on offense.
Part of what makes Green so valuable is his connection with Stephen Curry on the offensive end, but the Warriors could be without Curry on Sunday. Curry has left foot soreness and, according to Slater, was icing his foot after the team’s win over Sacramento.
The Warriors are 1-1 on the young season with a close loss to the Suns and a close win over the Kings.
