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.
