Draymond Green has been suspended indefinitely by the NBA after hitting Phoenix Suns Jusuf Nurkic in a Golden State Warriors game Tuesday night.
Green apologized after the match, saying he hadn’t tried to hit Nurkić but was “selling a foul because he was grabbing me and pulling my hip back. So I away and, unfortunately, I hit him.”
Nurkić offered his own version of the event after the match.
“What’s going on with him?” “, he asked journalists. ” I do not know. Personally, I feel like this brother needs help. I’m glad he didn’t try to strangle me. At the same time, it has nothing to do with basketball. I’m just trying to play basketball. I hope everything that’s going on in his life works out. »
Phoenix Suns coach Frank Vogel called the move “reckless and dangerous.”
Green has been ejected three times this season. The first time was on November 11, after receiving two technical fouls against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The second ejection came three days later, when he choked Rudy Gobert from behind while dragging him away from a fight during a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
This event earned him a five-game suspension, with the NBA citing his history of infractions to justify the length of the sanction.
