According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, “the ban will now go through at least the early part of January.”
Charania reported Monday morning Green has begun getting professional help while sidelined … adding that the 33-year-old forward “has been understanding and prepared to undergo the process required to return to the team in a full capacity.”
Green has yet to issue a public statement on the suspension … though his head coach, Steve Kerr, said last week the ban “makes sense.”
“The one who choked Rudy [Gobert], the one who took a wild flail at Jusuf [Nurkic], the one who punched Jordan [Poole] last year — that’s the guy who has to change,” Kerr said.
“You look at the past year and what’s happened,” the coach continued, “it’s clear he needs the opportunity to change.”
Rapper 50 Cent claimed his favorite NBA player is Draymond Green and even apologized on his behalf but it seems he still has to serve the suspension for hitting Jusuf in the head on the court.
