Draymond Green to stay with Golden State Warriors

Draymond Green has insisted that he will be staying with the Golden State Warriors for next season.

The power forward is due to become a restricted free agent this summer, but secured a place in the starting lineup throughout the playoffs, helping the Western Conference champions clinch their first NBA title in 40 years.

The 25-year-old told the San Jose Mercury News: "I'll be here. I love this group of guys."

In an interview with KNBR Radio, he added: "I don't want to pretend I'm going anywhere."

Green averaged 37.3 points per game in the playoffs for the Warriors.
