Following the Suns’ loss, Jusuf Nurkic expressed his frustration, pointing out that Green’s behavior during the game indicated that he had not learned anything from his previous 12-game suspension.

Green had been suspended by the league after striking Nurkic in the face back in December.

In response to Nurkic’s comment that Green did not learn anything, Draymond noted, “If he wants me to walk around quiet like him I’m never gonna do that. Quiet guys don’t win.”

Unfortunately, the Suns and Warriors will not face each other again this season unless they meet in the playoffs. The Suns won the season series 3-1.
