Even after serving his 5-game suspension, it looks like Draymond Green is still in troubled waters from his antics on the court. He found himself in another altercation which got him ejected during the Golden State Warriors match against the Phoenix Suns. Many are tired of Green’s antics, and have run out of empathy and excuses for his behavior. While the NBA is still considering its final decision, Suns legend Eddie Johnson wants the league to teach him a lesson yet again.
Since Green has repeated his actions even after his recent suspension, Johnson wants the league to state that these actions won’t be tolerated in the NBA.

No one on an NBA court will actually fight Green, as they don’t want to risk getting a suspension themselves. But Green has been doing whatever he pleases without much consequence, so it is up to the league now to put a stop to it.
