Curry ignites the Warriors after Green’s expulsion with his fiery performance.
After his indefinite suspension ended in January, Draymond Green from the Golden State Warriors has received praise for his ability to maintain his intensity while also avoiding crossing boundaries. He continued to challenge referees and display physical play, but did so in a controlled manner.
“We require his presence. He is aware of this, as are we all,” stated Curry in regards to Green. “Therefore, whatever measures need to be taken in order to ensure he remains on the court and ready to play must be taken. This is especially crucial at this stage in the season. The start of the game was difficult, but we must persevere.”
Green was removed from the game in the first four minutes of the Warriors’ 101-93 victory against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday.1 Related
Green’s actions throughout the current season, which involved putting Timberwolves’ forward Rudy Gobert in a headlock in November and striking Suns’ center Jusuf Nurkic in the head in December, as well as multiple other instances from last season, were considered when determining the duration of the two suspensions Green received.
“Unfortunately, it’s a shame,” Kerr remarked. “He earned it, but he will recover.”
Awesome job! Thank you to my friends for doing a great job! Time to focus on the next task!
BOUNCE BACK!

He also expressed a strong desire to avoid causing harm to ourselves and emphasized our collective dedication and enthusiasm for the game and our opportunity to compete for a spot in the playoffs. He concluded by highlighting the intensity and emotion that is poured into every game.
