IT’S A SAD NEWS: Two Warriors Star Players Suspended Due To What Transpired…

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is back after a 12-game suspension.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has been reinstated after serving a 12-game suspension, the National Basketball Association announced Saturday.

 

 

Green was ejected from a 119-116 loss to the Phoenix Suns on December 12 after spinning and hitting center Jusuf Nurkic with his right hand in the face, knocking him to the ground.

Green insisted the Suns big man’s hit was an accident at the time, later saying, “I’m not one to apologize for the things I’m going to do, but I apologize to Yusuf because I didn’t mean it.

I just sold the call because he grabbed me and pulled me by the hip, so I turned away and unfortunately I hit him.”However, the NBA suspended Green indefinitely on December 14, “[in] light of Green’s repeated unsportsmanlike conduct.

“The 33-year-old’s suspension was his

second of the season and he also missed five

games for striking Minnesota Timberwolves

center Rudy Gobert in a November

scrimmage.

As part of the latest suspension, Green was

required to “meet certain league and team

conditions before returning to play.”

According to the NBA, Green has met with a

counselor and met with representatives of

the league, the Warriors and the players

union several times and will continue to do

so during the season.

While it is unlikely that Verdo will return to

the court immediately as he works to get his

game back on track, having his suspension

lifted is a welcome move for the Warriors.

Golden State suffered a big loss for their

team on Friday night when 12-time All-Star

Chris Paul broke his left arm in a narrow

win over the Detroit Pistons.

Paul won’t be out long this week due to

surgery, so the rookie’s return to Green will

be a slight relief for head coach Steve Kerr

as he looks to bring the team together.
