RT @ShamsCharania: Draymond Green has agreed to return to the Golden State Warriors on a one-year, $27.7 million deal, K Via @jovanbuha on X

What happened: The agreement brings Green back after he declined a player option carrying the same $27.7 million value. The opt-out created temporary offseason flexibility before the sides reached Tuesday's deal.

Why it matters: The move retains a longtime defensive centerpiece without committing Golden State beyond the upcoming season. The Warriors enter 2026-27 after finishing 37-45 and losing in the play-in.

By the numbers: Green, 36, has spent 14 NBA seasons with Golden State, winning four championships and earning nine All-Defensive selections.

What to watch: Golden State can now turn to its remaining roster decisions before training camp.
