Overview

  • Draymond Green, star player of the Golden State Warriors, considered retiring from the NBA during his recent indefinite suspension, but was talked out of it by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.
  • Green's suspension was due to two violent incidents on the court, one involving Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic and another with Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert.
  • During his suspension, Green underwent counseling and held progress meetings with the NBA and the Warriors, a process that will continue even after his reinstatement.
  • Green's return to the Warriors is seen as a positive development for the team, which has been struggling in recent games and currently sits at 11th place in the Western Conference.
  • In a recent podcast episode, Green reflected on his growth and the need for change, acknowledging that his behavior has been a problem and expressing a commitment to improvement.
