NBA Suspends Draymond Green Indefinitely

In a surprising move, the NBA has slapped an indefinite suspension on Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green for his altercation with Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic. NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowksi broke the news, leaving fans and analysts buzzing with speculation.





A History of Green's Suspensions

This marks the sixth suspension for Green, adding another controversial chapter to his career. Let's take a quick trip down memory lane:

2016 NBA Finals
Green threw the NBA into chaos by punching LeBron James in the groin during the NBA Finals. This technical foul led to a suspension, affecting a pivotal Game 5 and contributing to the Cavaliers' historic comeback.

2018-19 Season
A heated argument between Green and Kevin Durant resulted in a one-game suspension, widely believed to have influenced Durant's departure from the Warriors.

March 2023
Green's 16th technical foul, involving a ball tossed at Russell Westbrook's head, led to a one-game suspension.

April 2023
During the Western Conference playoffs, Green stomped on Domantas Sabonis, causing him to miss a crucial Game 3 against the Sacramento Kings.

November 2023
A five-game suspension hit Green after grabbing Rudy Gobert around the neck during a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

2022 Practice Incident
In a noteworthy 2022 incident, Green threw a punch at Jordan Poole during a team practice, resulting in a fine but no suspension.


Green's Apology

Following the recent clash with Nurkic, Green expressed regret

«I'm not one to apologize for things I meant to do,»
Green told reporters.

"But I do apologize to Jusuf. Even though I didn't intend to hit him, I sell calls with my arms. I don't fall to sell a call. I'm not a flopper. I was just selling the call because he was grabbing and pulling my hip. So, I spun away. And, unfortunately, I hit him."


Nurkic's Response

Nurkic, unimpressed with Green's actions, commented after the game:

"I don't know, man. I was behind the play. What's going on [with] him, I don't know. Personally, I feel like that brother needs help. I'm glad he [did] not try to choke me, but at the same time, it had nothing to do with basketball."


"I'm just out there trying to play basketball, they're swinging... hopefully whatever he got in his life, it gets better."
