Veteran forward Draymond Green has agreed to a one-year, $27.7 million contract to remain with the Golden State Warriors.

Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul confirmed the details of his client's deal to ESPN on Tuesday. The deal does not include a no-trade clause, per ESPN.

It is just $100,000 more than the salary Green opted out of earlier this summer to give Golden State the financial flexibility to pursue LeBron James, who signed with the Philadelphia 76ers instead.

Green, 36, is a four-time All-Star and four-time champion who will be entering his 15th season with the Warriors in 2026-27. The nine-time All-Defensive team member was the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year in 2016-17.

Green averaged 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists in 68 games (all starts) in 2025-26. He owns career averages of 8.7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 949 games (794 starts) since Golden State drafted him in the second round in 2012.
