Draymond Green ejected again for striking Suns' Jusuf Nurkic

Warriors' Draymond Green: A Night of Controversy

In a heated matchup against the Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green faced ejection after a flagrant foul 2 in the second half.


With 8:23 remaining in the third quarter, tensions flared as Green, defending against Phoenix's Jusuf Nurkic, swung and struck Nurkic in the head. Initially, Green held Nurkic at bay with his back turned, but the situation escalated when he turned around, delivering a closed-fist blow to Nurkic's head.


Ejection Tally

This marked Green's third ejection this season, tying his career-high for ejections in a single season. Notably, his second ejection occurred on Nov. 14 against the Minnesota Timberwolves when he put Rudy Gobert in a headlock. The league handed Green a five-game suspension, citing his history as a repeat offender.


Suspension Speculation

Facing his third ejection, Green now awaits a league office review, raising concerns about another potential suspension. The league's decision will hinge on his past behavior, with the specter of further consequences hanging over the Warriors' star player.
