Draymond Green’s Suspension

Draymond Green…Trouble Again

Draymond Green is a popular name in headlines around the NBA, mostly in a negative manner.

During a Tuesday night matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns, Green struck Suns center Jusuf Nurkic in the head after he felt he was being held by him. This led to a Flagrant II foul being assessed and Draymond Green being ejected from the game for the 18 time in his career.

Green has been suspended indefinitely from the NBA. This is already his second time being suspended this season. The first suspension came after putting Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert into a chokehold after an altercation between the two teams.

These two incidents, along with a long history of unsportsmanlike activities, has led to the NBA suspending him indefinitely.

Green is required to comply with specific league and team conditions before coming back from his suspension. With no timeline on his return, the Warriors are questioning what to do with him. They know that he is a vital piece of the team, helping lead them to four previous titles. However, he is a liability to the team because of his short temper and impulsive actions.
