NBA Player Who Draymond Green Harmed Reacts to Suspension

This was a surprisingly empathic reaction.

Draymond Green has wronged a lot of people in his NBA career. One of the most recent players he harmed was Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert. Surprisingly, Gobert showed nothing but empathy toward Green's suspension.

In an interview with Tim MacMahon of ESPN, Rudy Gobert shared his reaction to Draymond Green's indefinite suspension.

"I have empathy for him," Gobert told ESPN. "You see somebody that's not well inside and suffering. You take away the game and all that, and you want somebody to be well and be able to do what we do every night and compete and be happy."

If there's someone who should feel a certain type of way about Draymond Green, it's Rudy Gobert. The chokehold that Green put Gobert in was not only over the top, but it created unnecessary narratives about the Timberwolves, with many calling the team soft. Even though Gobert feels bad for Green, he still believes the punishment is necessary.

"I'm not sure what that really means, so it's hard to tell," Gobert said. "I mean, you don't want someone to get badly hurt. You've got to fix that. That's it."

It may hurt Warriors fans to say it, but Draymond Green absolutely deserved the indefinite suspension punishment. Time after time, he was harming other NBA players without repercussion and never had any ownership of his actions. At some point, he had to stop being enabled.
