Asked Tuesday whether he wanted Green back next year — the forward has a player option — head coach Steve Kerr said yes, but with a caveat.

Smith’s alternate broadcast of Lakers-Nuggets Game 1 on Tuesday night, Green himself took it even further. “We take great pride in what we’ve built here, the continuity, the culture, and there’s no way around it: That culture has been damaged by this incident,”. “You have to work to repair that. You have to find that vibe again every day.”
