Renowned sports analyst Stephen A. Smith has weighed in on the recent on-court actions of Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, predicting a significant penalty from the NBA.
Green, 33, faced ejection in the game against the Phoenix Suns after a flagrant foul on Jusuf Nurkic, prompting officials to issue a flagrant-2 in the third quarter.
This incident, coupled with Green’s recent five-game suspension for a chokehold on Rudy Gobert, has raised concerns about his on-court behavior.
In a postgame press conference, Green defended himself, claiming he didn’t intend to hit Nurkic, who, in turn, expressed worry about Green’s actions, stating, “What’s going on with him? I don’t know. Personally, I feel like that brother needs help.”
Smith, known for his bold predictions, asserted, “Draymond Green is going to get suspended for about 10 games minimum… [The NBA is] going to bring the hammer down… The worst thing that could have possibly happened, believe it or not… was that sound from [Jusuf] Nurkic.”
As the NBA reviews the incident, speculation grows about the potential impact on Green and the Warriors, adding another layer to the ongoing saga of on-court controversies.
