Golden State Warriors rally behind Draymond Green amid indefinite suspension

Posted : 15 December 2023

The Golden State Warriors have expressed unwavering support for forward Draymond Green despite his recent indefinite suspension following an altercation with Phoenix's Jusuf Nurkic. Warriors coach Steve Kerr emphasized that their commitment to Green extends beyond the basketball court, viewing this period as an opportunity for personal growth and change. Kerr stated that the focus is on helping Draymond navigate through this challenging time, with no set timeline for his return.

 

Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. echoed Kerr's sentiments, emphasizing that the decision to avoid specifying the length of Green's suspension is to provide him the necessary time to make lasting changes and reintegrate into the team on a long-term basis. The indefinite timeline reflects the organization's commitment to Green's overall well-being rather than a fixed punishment.

 

Kerr highlighted the need for external expertise in addressing Green's behavioral challenges, recognizing that the organization alone lacks the tools required for his transformation. The league's involvement in repeatedly disciplining Green underscores the complex nature of the situation, with NBA executive vice president Joe Dumars emphasizing the importance of meeting specific conditions before Green can return to play.

 

Proposed trade would send Draymond Green to the Mavericks

 

Despite the suspension, Green will remain with the team, offering him the opportunity to stay connected and work towards positive changes. The Warriors stressed their concern over Green's lack of availability due to suspensions and injuries this season, acknowledging that the next 15 to 20 games will be crucial in assessing the team's adjustments. There is an overall sense of disappointment within the organization regarding Green's repeated behavior, and the hope is that this suspension will serve as a catalyst for positive change in both his career and personal life.
