Green said on his podcast that his one wish is to keep playing for the Warriors, underscoring his desire to continue his time in Golden State and hoping “it’s not the end.”
He acknowledged uncertainty about what lies ahead this summer, reflecting on last February’s trade talks and saying this season felt different as he navigates the next steps with the team.
The Warriors were eliminated from the play-in tournament by the Phoenix Suns, a contest marked by a moment of reflection between Green, head coach Steve Kerr, and Stephen Curry as Kerr spoke about the group’s long partnership.
The option would allow Green to stay in Oakland for at least one more season, keeping him at the center of a franchise that has won four titles alongside Curry and Klay Thompson in 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2022.
The article notes that Golden State has faced challenges building a championship lineup around Curry and Green in recent seasons, in part due to injuries that disrupted key teammates and continuity.
Despite the uncertainty, Green made clear he is not retiring soon, insisting he still loves to play and believes he can compete at a high level, while signaling that he must continue proving his value to remain in the league.
