Draymond Green is sidelined for a couple of weeks following his repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts. As per the league sources, he was expected to work with his team and the NBA to undergo a required process of counseling before he returned to the court.

Green must fulfill certain league rules and conditions before his suspension is lifted after his recent act of punching Jusuf Nurkić. Although it is understood that criteria must be met to show aggressive behavior, some fans are questioning this elaborate anger management procedure. One fan even said that the league is treating Green “like a threat to society”.

But not everyone shared the same sentiment. One fan believes that we should stop treating Green like he is a victim.

Framing this dude as a victim is wild tbh

It should include berating refs as well. I expect nothing but that Draymond when he comes back. U don’t just flip a switch after being this way and it being accepted for this
Many years.

Green is allowed to practice with the Warriors despite suspension. His agent Rich Paul, Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr., and other NBA and NBPA officials are part of these ongoing sessions.

If everything gets tick-boxed and there are no setbacks, Green will probably make his return in early to mid-January. Warriors will play their 7th straight game against the Denver Nuggets without Green. Despite Green’s recurring violent behaviors, the warriors have shown no signs of replacing their core dynasty members.
