Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has actually had an eventful season, to put it slightly.

The four-time All-Star has actually been suspended two times—when for choking Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert on Nov. 14 and when for elbowing Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkić on Dec. 12. The suspensions have actually cost him 17 of the Warriors’ 50 video games, and have actually played a considerable function in their uninspired 2024.

On Saturday, Green strolled a great line while betting Nurkić and the Suns. The 2 exchanged words after a whistle in the very first quarter, just for Golden State guard Klay Thompson to separate the run-in.

After the Warriors’ 113–112 win, Nurkić lit into Green.

“It’s sad. He didn’t learn anything, man,” Nurkić stated. “Just a matter of time until he hits somebody else again. I take everything back, what I said. He don’t deserve a chance.”

Green completed with 15 points, 7 rebounds and 9 helps in a total efficiency, while Nurkić injury up with 6 points, 6 rebounds and 4 helps.

Responding to Nurkić, Green protected his actions.

“If he wants me to walk around quiet like him, I’m never gonna do that. Quiet guys don’t win,” Green stated. “I thought I was pretty great tonight.”

Reporter: “[Jusuf] Nurkic said after the game that he thought your antics tonight proved you didn’t learn anything.”
