Toronto Raptors Star Reacts to Draymond Green Choking Rudy Gobert

The NBA has suspended Draymond Green for five games due to his actions in the Golden State Warriors vs. Minnesota Timberwolves game on Tuesday. Following a scuffle between Klay Thompson and Jaden McDaniels, Green placed Rudy Gobert in a chokehold. From Green's perspective, Gobert also had his teammate Thompson around the neck, but the NBA has since ruled Gobert was a "peacemaker" by trying to remove Thompson from the situation.

While there are differing opinions on what exactly went down and who was in the wrong, everyone seems to agree that this was a wild scene. One of the many people to react to the incident was Toronto Raptors star Scottie Barnes, who shared this post:

nahhhh what😭😭😭😭 https://t.co/keyx68JBTp

It is certainly a wild image that Barnes is reacting to, and not something you see very often in an NBA game. Green has been involved in a lot of situations like this throughout his career, which contributed to the NBA giving him a five-game suspension.

In their announcement, the NBA stated on Green, "Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has been suspended five games without pay for escalating an on-court altercation and forcibly grabbing Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert around the neck in an unsportsmanlike and dangerous manner, it was announced today by Joe Dumars, NBA Executive Vice President, Head of Basketball Operations. The length of the suspension is based in part on Green's history of unsportsmanlike acts."

This was a wild situation, and one the NBA has now sorted out.
