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.

DRAYMOND GREEN EJECTED IN 2ND HALF FOR GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS

PHOENIX -- Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was ejected from Tuesday night's 119-116 loss to the Phoenix Suns after receiving a flagrant foul 2 in the second half.

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.
