Warriors Green knocked down Nurkic with one punch, and second-degree malice was ejected, and he was in danger of being banned again
On December 13, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Suns played the Warriors at home. In this game, the two teams came up into a tug-of-war, and the Warriors once opened up the difference in the second quarter, but the Suns quickly caught up. However, in the second half, Warriors Green once again became the protagonist, and once again in the middle of the position, he turned and punched Nurkic directly, ate a second-degree malicious foul, and was directly ejected from the game.
The scene occurred at 8:23 of the third quarter, when the Warriors played a throw-in in front of the court, Green and Nurkic were in a position, and Green turned and punched Nurkic directly after failing to get stuck several times in a row, and the latter fell to the ground in pain. Fortunately, the other players were very calm and did not step forward, so there was no further conflict, and this action also made the outside world very puzzled, after all, Nurkic did not move too much, and Green's hand movements were very unclean.
After replay, the referee directly gave a second-degree malicious foul and was ejected, which is also the third time he has been ejected this season, and Bill Simmons bluntly said: "Dream chasing is the malicious foul MVP (LVP) so far this season." "I am also very puzzled by this action, after all, the smell of gunpowder on the court between the two sides is not very large, and Nurkic's performance is not very good, it can only be said that Green's mentality has changed, and he has not contributed much on the court. Before being ejected, he had only two points on 1-of-3 shooting, three turnovers and three fouls.
With Green ejected again, his actions could also be punished with another suspension, which would be really bad for the Warriors. According to Woj, Dream will face scrutiny from the league office and could be banned again. In the last game, he was banned by the league for 5 games because of his throat Gobert, although this action is not as bad as last time, but because of his previous bad deeds, it is likely to be banned again.
You know, the Warriors are currently in a difficult period, and Green is making frequent mistakes, which puts the team in a very passive situation, and maybe they should consider trading this option. After all, the performance of the Warriors this season is not very good, and they are currently ranked outside the play-offs, let alone competing for the championship, and it is doubtful whether they can make the playoffs. If they do get suspended, the Warriors will definitely consider a trade.
