Draymond Green’s apology to Jusuf Nurkic

Green got a five-game suspension for grabbing Rudy Gobert’s neck during the Warriors’ Timberwolves clash. The two had an altercation and Draymond took the extreme step. Steph Curry warned him to know where the limit is after losing against the Sacramento Kings. But after the Nurkic incident, Draymond Green apologized to the star but maintained it was unintentional.

Draymond maintained that Jusuf was pulling his hip and he was swinging away to sell the call when made the contact.  He said, “As you know, I’m not one to apologize for things I meant to do but I do apologize to Jusuf because I didn’t intend to hit him.”
