According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Christmas, the suspension is anticipated to last between 11-13 games. If accurate, this would place Green's potential return between January 5 in Detroit and January 10 against New Orleans.

However, coach Steve Kerr's recent statements paint a different picture.

Despite the reported timeline, Green has yet to return to the Golden State facility for team workouts.

According to Brad Botkin of CBS Sports, Kerr mentioned that communication with Green has been limited, stating, "We text. But we've been giving him his space, and he's been giving us ours."

When asked about the timeframe for Green to regain playing shape, Kerr expressed uncertainty, stating, "Not sure."
