Ahead of Thursday's Warriors-Rockets game, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green were spotted chatting on the way to shootaround in Houston. Yahoo's Chris Haynes snapped a pic and said they were "communicating positively." On top of that, Dray is expected to address what went down with Kevin Durant earlier this week, which revealed an unexpected fragility to the Warriors' dominating collection of talent.

The two former brothers have adjoining lockers in Houston, so if anyone thought tonight's game would feature some uncomfortable distance between the two, they might be disappointed.

Draymond finally spoke about the incident with reporters after shootaround, and offered up this two-minute explanation about the story. He only answered basketball-related questions after this.

"I'm gonna speak on this one time and one time only," he said before continuing to speak uninterrupted for the next two minutes:

He took more questions, but made sure they were only basketball related. Here's the entirety of his comments to reporters following Thursday morning's shootaround:

Dray and KD had previously been spotted chatting on their way into shootaround.

The team had a dinner on Wed. night, which some speculated has helped them heal.

Before Draymond spoke, Steve Kerr talked with reporters and joked about the conflict before saying the team had a meeting and discussed the situation before shootaround. The details are said to be "private." He also called Steph Curry a "short Tim Duncan," for his ability to bring his teammates together.
