Draymond Green is once again at the center of controversy. Just a month ago, the league suspended the Golden State Warriors forward for five games following an altercation with Minnesota Timberwolves’ player Rudy Gobert. However, it appears that Green’s on-court behavior hasn’t undergone a positive transformation yet. Recently, during a game against the Phoenix Suns, Green was once again the subject of disciplinary action. He was ejected for striking Jusuf Nurkic in the face. Surprisingly, later in the conference, he made an apology to the opponent team’s player.

Following, that he clarified the entire situation. His statement was shared on X.

Green’s suspension would be tough for him to evade this time. It’s already his third ejection this season. Previously, both Warriors head coach Steve Kerr and teammate Stephen Curry stated that one more such instance on Green’s part could heavily impact the team. 

However, much to fans’ surprise, he apologized to Nurkic. Here is his statement

Furthermore, considering the previous tumult with Gobert, it’s foreseeable how the NBA authorities will respond to this situation. There are already rumors of suspension making rounds. While he did apologize for his actions, the player had a different opinion about his last ejection.

Draymond Green’s response to the incident with Gobert

Green was previously ejected during the third quarter of a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Green was seen putting Gobert in a headlock during a heated exchange involving Klay Thompson and  Jaden McDaniels.

About the incident, he said, “I don’t live my life with regrets. Like I said before, I’ll come to a teammate’s defense anytime that I’m in a position to come to a teammate’s defense.” He added, “That’s what a team is. You stick together through the good and the bad and I take that to heart. I take pride in being a good teammate.

Green’s recent gesture seems a potential shift in his approach, showcasing a willingness to acknowledge mistakes and seek reconciliation. What are your thoughts on this? Share with us in the comments section below.
