Draymond Green is in the news again. The Golden State Warriors star has been ejected from the game against the Phoenix Suns for a wild swing at Jusuf Nurkic.
A third ejection and serving a 5-game suspension for the choke hold on Rudy Gobert are just a few things Draymond Green has done this season. This incident was uncalled for. Nurkic was defending Green hands-on, following him to the 3-point line. Green was about to lose his balance when he swung his arm around hitting Nurkic in the face. The referee standing next to the incident hit Green with a flagrant 2 foul and ejected him.
Fans and analysts have called out Draymond Green for his antics this year. The Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns played a closely-fought matchup. Without Kevin Durant in the lineup, the Suns relied on Devin Booker and the rest to win the game 119 – 116.
The Warriors had to rely on the bench to keep the game closed with 5 bench players in double figures. With the starters struggling and Green’s ejection, every game matters especially in a heavily loaded Western Conference
Green’s focus should be to help the Golden State Warriors make a run for the championship. He has only been a deterrence for them this season. Green put up a paltry 2 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in 17 minutes. His ejection cost them valuable defense and leadership in the closely fought 4th quarter.
Green’s antics keep infuriating fans
After a 3rd ejection in such an early stage of the season, one might think what Draymond Green is playing for. He already served the 5-game suspension. Green should be the steady leader as he was in the past. With Stephen Curry handling most of the scoring load, Green’s defensive and leadership presence is crucial.
Analysts have called out Green for his antics throughout the season. Fans witnessing this wild swing from Green wondered where his focus was. The action and the ejection led to reactions on social media;
Draymond Green has to refocus on the task at hand. The goal is to extend the already narrowing championship window for the Golden State Warriors. Ejections and suspensions from games are certainly not the way to do that.
