Steve Kerr reveals what Warriors are asking of Draymond Green upon his return

Draymond Green's return from an indefinite suspension is on the horizon, and there's little doubt that the Golden State Warriors are glad to have the added firepower. 

Ahead of Green's return to action, head coach Steve Kerr explained that there's one request from him — simply to leave the referees alone for the time being, according to The Athletic's Anthony Slater.

As Kerr explained, the "challenge" will be for Green to continue to play with the same fire and energy he has throughout his career, but "leave the officials alone." Although Kerr knows it's going to be tough, he stated that they're "going to ask him [Green] to do that."

Green's on-court presence is pivotal for the Warriors, and there's no denying that it'll be tough for the four-time All-Star not to react or say much of anything to the officials. 

Virtually every player will argue a call or debate an official's decision, so this task will undoubtedly add an interesting wrinkle ahead of Green's return.
