Draymond returns from suspension after KD feud

-

HOUSTON — Draymond Green had five rebounds and five assists in his return against a loss to the Houston Rockets after serving a one-game team-imposed suspension for a dustup with Durant in Monday night's overtime loss to the Clippers.

Green addressed the situation for the first time after shootaroun­d but did not apologize for his actions in the heated exchange.

He said he and Durant had spoken and that they were "moving forward."

"I think there's no secret that I am an emotional player," he said. "I wear my emotions on my sleeve. I play with that same emotion. Sometimes they get the best of me. And (if) it doesn't work to my favor I'm going to live with that."

While the Warriors dealt with the drama between Green and Durant, the Rockets were left to answer questions about the decision to move on after announcing before the game that they were "parting ways" with 10-time All-Star Carmelo Anthony.

Anthony played just 10 games for the Rockets after signing a oneyear, $2.4 million deal during the offseason.

"In the summer we tried to hit a home run and it didn't work out," coach Mike D'Antoni said. "He tried everything he could. He was great while he was here. It just didn't work out for whatever reason. I just thank him for his profession­alism. It was good. He tried everything he could to make it work and it just didn't work out."
