WATCH: Draymond Green Gets Ejected vs. Suns
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was ejected from Tuesday night's game against the Phoenix Suns for striking Jusuf Nurkic with a wild swing of his right arm. Green was assessed a flagrant two foul, which is an automatic ejection:
This is Green's third ejection of the season, and he could be facing another possible suspension. The Warriors already lost Green for five games for his choke on Rudy Gobert, and it's certainly possible he is suspended again for this latest incident.
The Warriors have already been struggling to stay alive in the Western Conference, and any more missed time from Green will make this even harder. While Green is not the player he was in his prime, he is still very important to what the Warriors do on both ends.
Green's importance to the Warriors is why Steve Kerr and others were so disappointed with his decision making that led to his five game suspension. If Green is suspended again, this disappointment will almost certainly be even greater.
The Warriors want Green to play with the fire that makes him who he is, but there is also a line that cannot be crossed. Green has stated how important it is for him to stay available for his teammates, but he has once again found himself in a situation where he is unable to finish a game.
