SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was selected to his fourth career NBA All-Star game with this year’s game in Cleveland’s Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
Although he is unable to play due to a back injury, Green will still be heavily involved in the game — as a broadcaster.
Turner Sports announced that Green will be on alternate broadcast “Inside the All-Star Game” televised on TBS Sunday at 5 p.m. PT, joining Sports Emmy Award-winning studio team of Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kenny Smith.
Fans can still watch the traditional broadcast on TNT with Kevin Harlan, Dwyane Wade, Reggie Miller, and Allie LaForce.
TBS’ all-access broadcast will include Green’s teammate Stephen Curry wearing a mic throughout the game, so fans can hear what the Warriors superstar is saying.
This is one of Green’s first major assignments as a broadcaster since signing a deal to work for Turner Sports in January.
Green has not played a full game since Jan. 5 against the Dallas Mavericks.
The Warriors (42-17), who sit at second place in the Western Conference standings, will have Curry and forward Andrew Wiggins playing in Sunday’s All-Star game.
Wiggins is a starter for Team Durant while Curry is a starter for Team LeBron.
