WARRIORS FORWARD GREEN SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY FOR STRIKING NURKIC

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has been suspended indefinitely by the NBA after he was ejected from Tuesday's game for striking Phoenix center Jusuf Nurkic in the face.

In the third quarter of the Warriors' 119-116 road loss, Nurkic had his hand on Green's hip while defending him when Green swung around wildly, hitting Nurkic with his open hand.

Green received a 'Flagrant Foul 2' and was ejected for making "unnecessary and excessive contact to the face," the referees determined after a video review.

The league said it took into account Green's history of "unsportsmanlike acts" and that he would be required to meet certain league and team conditions before he returns to play.

The foul occurred with 8:23 left in the third quarter when Green swung and hit Phoenix's Jusuf Nurkic in the head while defending him.

At first, while Green's back was turned to Nurkic, he repeatedly held Nurkic off of him. Eventually, Green turned and hit Nurkic in the head with his hand.

ANALYSIS: DRAYMOND GREEN DIDN'T HURT GOBERT. HE HURT THE WARRIORS

Golden State’s Draymond Green is probably going to be enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame one day, even with career averages of around 9 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists per game. He’ll have, at minimum, four NBA championships and two Olympic gold medals when he’s all done.

He’ll also have baggage. So much baggage.

The latest addition to that pile came Wednesday when the NBA handed Green a five-game suspension, one that’ll cost him about $770,000 in missed salary and won’t help a Warriors team that is already without an injured Stephen Curry and not off to the hottest of starts at just 6-6.

Green earned every bit of that suspension after putting Rudy Gobert in a headlock during the Warriors-Minnesota game on Tuesday night. It was his second ejection in a span of five days and the 19th — including playoffs — of his career, which is nearly twice as many as any other two currently active players in the league combined.
