The head of basketball operations and executive vice president Joe Dumars announced an indefinite suspension for forward Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors. Green punched center Jusuf Nurkić of the Phoenix Suns in the face. This choice takes into account Green’s prior acts of violent conduct. The incident happened with 8:23 remaining in the third quarter of the Warriors’ 119-116 loss to the Suns on December 12 at Footprint Centre. In response to Draymond, Green’s suspension, Kevin Durant spoke.

Durant expressed his shock at the incident and expressed hope that Draymond Green would receive assistance in resolving his problems. The Sun’s big three—Devinn Booker, Bradley Beal, and Kevin—played together for the first time that season, but the Nets won, spoiling the evening. They questioned Durant about Green’s suspension after the loss for hitting his teammate Jusuf Nurkic on Tuesday.

That was insane to see. Never seen that… in an NBA game. He hasn’t been that way when I was around or coming into the league, so I hope he gets the help he needs.

Green’s blow to Nurkic’s face resulted in the power forward’s third-season ejection and an NBA suspension that will last indefinitely. Green received harsh punishment for being a repeat offender, which included a five-game suspension after choking Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert on November 14. Due to his suspension, they still considered Green a troublemaker in the NBA.

Fans react to Kevin Durant’s advice for Draymond Green and his suspension

The NBA has given the Warriors forward an indefinite suspension for punching Nurkic during the game. ‘Indefinite’ meant that Draymond Green would be suspended indefinitely without a set date of return. Green will also be receiving counseling, and he won’t be allowed to rejoin the league until he satisfies specific requirements. For Green, this is already the fourth high-profile occasion in the past year.

NBA fans responded to Kevin’s remarks on social media in a variety of ways. Durant had stated:

I hope Draymond gets the help he needs.

During their tenure with the Warriors, the two had a strained relationship. Currently, a lot of fans are making fun of Draymond and drawing attention to Kevin’s statement that “he needs help,” which is meant to allude to Draymond’s mental health.

The suspension is probably going to last longer than five games—possibly even longer than ten. He won’t be able to play again until he meets specific league and team requirements. The timing of this suspension is terrible for the Golden State Warriors. With several matches lost from leading leads and a negative win-loss record, the team is on the verge of collapse.
