Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green Faces Three-Week Suspension Amid Counseling

The NBA world was jolted when Golden State Warriors’ veteran Draymond Green received an indefinite suspension for his aggressive swing at Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic. Now, sources indicate that Green has initiated a counseling process and is expected to be sidelined for at least three weeks.

This latest incident adds to a pattern of on-court altercations for Green, who has already been ejected three times this season. One of the more notorious ejections involved a chokehold on Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert, resulting in a suspension. The indefinite suspension reflects Green’s status as a repeat offender, emphasizing his recurrent unsportsmanlike behavior.

While indefinite suspensions are uncommon in the NBA, Green’s history of such incidents has led to this stringent penalty. The Warriors, currently at 12-14, now face the challenge of navigating the season without their defensive linchpin. The question remains whether Stephen Curry can lead the team back to championship or playoff contention in Green’s absence.
