In a stunning and emotional announcement that’s already sending shockwaves through the basketball world, Golden State Warriors General Manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. has officially confirmed that Draymond Green will take on a powerful new role with the organization — as the team’s Assistant Coach while still remaining an active player!
“This is not just a basketball decision, it’s a cultural one,” Dunleavy said during the press conference earlier today. “Draymond has been the heartbeat of this franchise for over a decade, and we believe his voice, leadership, and basketball IQ can now have an even greater impact — both on and off the court.”
The news was met with thunderous applause from fans, players, and analysts across the NBA. Green, known for his tenacity, leadership, and elite defensive prowess, has long been considered a coach-in-the-making. Now, in a rare hybrid role, he’ll be mentoring younger players, helping shape game strategy, and continuing to bring his signature energy to the hardwood.
“I’m honored and humbled,” Green said. “This team is my family. I’m not done playing yet — not by a long shot — but I’m also ready to start preparing for what’s next and give everything I can to this organization in every way possible.”
Social media exploded within minutes of the announcement, with NBA legends like LeBron James, Steph Curry, and Steve Kerr praising the move as “innovative,” “well-deserved,” and “a perfect next step for one of the greatest competitors in the game.”
With the 2025–26 NBA season just around the corner, all eyes will be on the Warriors — not just to see if they can return to championship form, but also to witness this exciting new chapter in the Draymond Green era.
