Draymond Green is set to take an extended hiatus from the Golden State Warriors as the NBA has imposed an indefinite suspension on him following an incident where he struck an opponent in the face. The league attributes this harsh disciplinary action to Draymond’s “repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts.”
The suspension stems from his ejection during Tuesday’s match against the Phoenix Suns, where he engaged in overly aggressive physicality with Jusuf Nurkic, delivering a forceful right-hand blow to the head during a third-quarter altercation. This marked Draymond’s second suspension of the current NBA season, with a previous 5-game ban just last month for placing Minnesota Timberwolves star center Rudy Gobert in a chokehold.
