Draymond Green was booed on his comeback for the Golden State Warriors against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Green, 33, was suspended last month for hitting an opponent in the face and has missed the Warriors’ last 16 games.

He came off the bench during Tuesday’s visit to Memphis and was booed by the crowd when he took the court.

Green finished with seven points, seven rebounds, and four assists in 24 minutes as the Warriors lost 116-107.

The forward was suspended indefinitely after striking Phoenix Suns teammate Jusuf Nurkic in December, his third ejection this season.

However, his ban was overturned earlier this month when the NBA stated that Green had “completed steps that demonstrated his commitment to conforming his conduct to the standards expected,” but he still missed four more games.

“Draymond played well and hard. “It’s good to have him back,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr stated.

“Obviously as a team we didn’t play well, but Draymond competed and it’s good to get him back in the fold.”

Meanwhile, Joel Embiid returned from a three-game injury absence, scoring 41 points and collecting 10 rebounds as the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Houston Rockets, 124-115.

It was Embiid’s 17th consecutive game with 30 or more points, and he has already scored 40 or more seven times this season.

The 76ers are third in the Eastern Conference, but the Eastern Conference leaders, the Boston Celtics, won again, defeating the Toronto Raptors 105–96.

The Dallas Mavericks defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 125-120, with Kyrie Irving scoring 42 points and Tim Hardaway Jr. making nine three-pointers for 41 points.

Trae Young got his 10,000th career point as the Atlanta Hawks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 109-99, the Orlando Magic edged the New York Knicks 98-94, and the Miami Heat defeated the Brooklyn Nets 96-95 in overtime.

The Detroit Pistons defeated the Washington Wizards 129-117 for their fourth victory of the season, the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Chicago Bulls 109-91, and the Utah Jazz smashed the Indiana Pacers 132-105.
