Golden State Warriors forward has been suspended by the NBA indefinitely.
The latest incident happened last night in the third quarter against the Phoenix Suns. As the ball was getting inbounded, Green was getting held from behind and swung around wildly connecting with the face of center Jusuf Nurkic, who dropped to the ground face first.
Due to his actions, Green was assessed a flagrant II and ejected from the game.
It is easy to find what transpired on social media. Still the Warriors needed to suspend Green indefinitely not the NBA. His actions last night were inexcusable and unlike the situations he found himself in when he did get suspended, there is no defense for his behavior. What happened was completely inexcusable and no matter how he tries to spin it, falling to get the whistle for a flop was the better option to what he did.
As for what happens now, it has now been reported Green, Green’s agent Rich Paul with Klutch Sports and general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr will meet on Thursday to discuss what needs to happen and to help him moving forward. Also, the NBA will require him to meet “certain league conditions and team conditions” in order to return and play.
Here is a look at the reactions to the suspension of Green.

Now that Draymond Green has been suspended indefinitely, who will step up on the #Warriors? Could this be Kuminga’s chance?
