NBA Suspends Draymond Green Indefinitely for Unsporting Behavior

This marks the Golden State Warriors star's sixth career suspension, with the NBA citing his repeated unsportsmanlike acts as a factor in the decision.

  • Golden State Warriors' Draymond Green has been suspended indefinitely by the NBA following his latest on-court incident where he struck Phoenix Suns' Jusuf Nurkic in the face during a game.
  • This is Green's sixth career suspension and second this season, with the NBA citing his 'repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts' as a factor in the decision.
  • Green, his agent Rich Paul, and Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. are expected to meet to discuss a path of counseling and assistance for Green to move forward.
  • The financial impact of the suspension could see Green lose between $154,000 and $203,000 per game, depending on the length of the suspension.
  • Green's suspension has raised questions about the Warriors' rotation, with potential replacements including Jonathan Kuminga and Chris Paul.
