The Warriors currently hold a 17-18 record, placing them 10th in the Western Conference.Â
Of course, some fans were not too happy with Green coming back in such a short amount of time. At first, it seemed Draymond would be suspended for at least a month.
According to a statement made by the league, “Green completed steps that demonstrated his commitment to conforming his conduct to standards expected of NBA players. He has engaged in meetings with a counselor and has met jointly on multiple occasions with representatives of the NBA, the Warriors and the National Basketball Players Association, both of which will continue throughout the season.”
While Draymond was gone, the Warriors posted a 7-5 record.
Do you believe the suspension was long enough?
