In the 3rd quarter of the Suns meeting with the Warriors on Tuesday, Jusuf Nurkic was thrown to the ground after receiving a slap across the face from Draymond Green.

It did not take much review by the officials for them to quickly rule the play as flagrant 2, resulting in Green’s ejection from the game.

Already, less than 2 months into the season, Draymond Green has been ejected three times, which leads the league.

And it is not as if these ejections have been for light offenses either. As many remember, his last controversial play resulted in Rudy Gobert being put in a headlock.

This resulted in a five-game suspension.

After the Suns closed out a win against the Warriors, Nurkic personally called for Green to get some help, stating, “What’s going on with him, I don’t know, personally. That brother needs help. I’m glad he didn’t try to choke me.”

Stay tuned as we wait to see how long the league determines Draymond Green’s suspension ought to be.
