Draymond apologized for hitting Nurkic, which was deemed a flagrant two-foul, and said he didn’t mean to hit him. However, the apology was not enough as the NBA suspended him indefinitely for “his repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts.” Green also has to attend counseling sessions.

Tuesday’s game marks Green’s third ejection of the season. On November 11th he received two technical fouls, and on the 14th, a flagrant two-foul for putting Timberwolves’ #RudyGobert in a headlock which earned him a five-game suspension.

#DishFam, do you agree that an indefinite suspension is appropriate?
