The hits seem to keep coming for Draymond Green and the Warriors.

After missing time with a knee contusion, Green returned to action only to suffer an apparent wrist injury. And while he was able to return to action after going down, Green's latest setback is one to monitor given the injury woes that Golden State has dealt with as of late.

Here is what we know about Green's injury and his status moving forward.

What is Draymond Green's injury?

In the second quarter of the Warriors' win over the Trail Blazers on Tuesday, Feb. 28, Green collided with Trail Blazers center Drew Eubanks, who was in position to grab a rebound.

Immediately after the collision, Green began to grab his left wrist and exited towards the locker room for evaluation. The injury was not diagnosed and Green would ultimately return to finish the game.

Here is the play where it happened:

Despite the injury, Green turned in a trademark night, finishing with 12 points (on 4-for-5 shooting), nine rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals in 32 minutes of action.

How long will Draymond Green be out?

As Green returned to action following the wrist injury, it does not appear that he will miss time.

Neither Green nor head coach Steve Kerr spoke on it postgame, which is a positive sign for the Warriors, who are in the midst of a key stretch with respect to their pursuit of one of the Western Conference's top six seeds.

Here's Golden State's upcoming schedule:
