Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has once again found himself in hot water after serving two suspensions during the 2023-24 NBA season. His history of aggressive incidents on the court has once again drawn attention to him in a negative light.
During Tuesday night’s game against the Miami Heat, Green made headlines for grabbing Patty Mills by the neck. Despite contesting the call and explaining that he was simply breaking free from Mills’ grasp, the foul was ruled common and not a flagrant.
This incident is just the latest in a series of disciplinary issues for Green this season. He has only played in 46 of the Warriors’ 71 games, serving a five-game suspension earlier in the season for putting Rudy Gobert in a chokehold and receiving an indefinite ban for hitting Jusuf Nurkić.
In the game against the Miami Heat, Green finished with four points, nine rebounds, eight assists, two steals, and five fouls. His absence from games due to suspensions has undoubtedly had an impact on the team’s performance this season.
As Green’s aggressive behavior continues to land him in trouble with the league, fans and analysts alike are left questioning whether the star player’s on-court antics are more harmful than helpful to the Warriors’ chances of success. The NBA will undoubtedly continue to monitor Green closely as the season progresses. Stay tuned to The Puck Drop for the latest updates on this developing story.
