- Warriors stand by embattled NBA star amid suspension
- Kevin Durant says he hopes Green ‘gets the help he needs’
The Golden State Warriors believe Draymond Green needs help to curb his long history of rough play, and general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr is hopeful an indefinite suspension provides enough time for their star forward to make real progress.
Dunleavy said Thursday that the team is satisfied with the NBA’s latest punishment for Green, the four-time NBA champion who was indefinitely banned Wednesday after hitting Phoenix center Jusuf Nurkić in the face. The suspension was the sixth of Green’s career and his fourth in 2023.
