Draymond Green Excluded from USA Olympic Basketball Team

Recent Suspensions and Behavior Cited as Reasons for Decision

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has been excluded from consideration for the USA men's basketball team for the upcoming Summer Olympics in Paris.
Green, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, has been suspended multiple times in the last year, including an indefinite suspension after striking Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic during a December contest.
Green expressed disappointment and confusion at the decision, stating he wished the decision had been communicated to him personally by National team managing director Grant Hill.
Hill cited Green's suspensions and recent behavior as reasons for the decision, suggesting that Green needed to focus on personal growth this summer.
Despite the decision, Green stated he would be ready to join the team if needed due to unforeseen circumstances.
