SAN FRANCISCO — Draymond Green has signed an exclusive, multi-year deal
to appear on Turner Sports while he continues to play for the Warriors.

Green will make his debut under contract on the “Inside the NBA”
postgame show following tonight’s Warriors-Timberwolves game on TNT. He
will make other appearances on the show and other Turner properties as
his Warriors schedule allows.

The three-time All-Star is currently out of the lineup as he’s dealing
with lower back and calf injuries. The Warriors have no timeline for his
return and he’ll miss his 10th consecutive game Thursday night.

On the season, Green’s averaging 7.9 points per game off of 53.7 percent
from the field to go along with 7.4 assists and 7.6 rebounds.

“Inside the NBA” is the model for sports studio shows across television
networks, featuring Hall of Famers Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal
alongside former NBA champion Kenny Smith and host Ernie Johnson.

The New York Post reported Thursday that Green is the “heir apparent” to
Barkley, the longtime face of the show.

Green has appeared on “Inside” as a guest analyst over the last several
years and hosted “Chips”, his own interview show on Bleacher Report’s
YouTube page. (Bleacher Report is owned by Turner.)
