This season has been like a rollercoaster ride for Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors. In another seemingly falling apart season for Green, he got himself ejected in Tuesday night’s match against the Phoenix Suns. The event occurred at the end of a game that resulted in a 119-116 loss when Green received a flagrant foul for a controversial hit on Jusuf Nurkic’s head. For the third time this season, the veteran forward has been thrown out of a game. He now awaits the decision of an impartial review panel that could once again find him guilty by association with another suspension.

Season-long suspension possible

Green’s ejection occurred with 8:23 remaining on the clock in the third quarter. This situation, where Draymond hit Nurkic’s head from behind and in defense mode, has been questioned across the league and escalated doubts about Green’s in-game manners. However, the implications of this occurrence are not limited to the game but also involve the NBA putting Green under more scrutiny.

Sources point out a disturbing potential for Draymond Green in the aftermath of the altercation. These reports suggest that the league may suspend the influential player for the Golden State Warriors for the rest of the season. The phrase “on the table” highlights the seriousness of the issue and suggests that the league could be considering a harsh sanction on Green.

More than just his contribution, the entire drama behind Draymond Green presents a real danger to the future of the Warriors’ championship.

Amidst the Golden State Warriors’ ongoing struggle for consistency and championship contention, Draymond Green’s actions are proving to be a double-edged sword. Green may not be the same dominant player that he once was. However, his position in the flow of the game is still vital for both offensive and defensive ends.

Therefore, Green must strike a balance between playing the game with undivided focus, as directed by the team. The veteran has crossed the thin line with his recent action and is at high risk of facing severe repercussions.
