Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is getting ready to comeback from the 12-game suspension imposed by the NBA last december, following a hard flagrant foul on Jusuf Nurkic. "I've cost my team enough" Green declared.
While the Golden State Warriors continue to struggle through this regular season, four-time NBA Champion Draymond Green is finishing the road to finally make his return to action. According to the medical staff this could happen this next weekend, when the "Dubs" will be on the road, visiting the Chicago Bulls on Friday night or Saturday night when they'll meet Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks."
“My goal is not to come back and worry about crossing the line because I still have to come back and play the game the way I know how to play the game and be the best me that I can be for my team to help give my team a chance to win,” Green said. “As far as not crossing the line with a referee, yes, that’s a big point of emphasis for me … But I didn’t make it to this point worried about touching the line. I didn’t help this team and this organization become what we’ve become by worrying about crossing the line."
The two-time Defensive Player of the Year has been known to have some temper outbursts throughout his 12-year career. One of the most infamous incidents took place during Game 4 of the 2016 NBA Finals, where, after kicking LeBron James in the groin, he was suspended for Game 5, which turned out to be pivotal for the Cleveland Cavaliers' comeback from a 3-1 deficit."
Still, 4x All Star remains as a crutial part of the core that brought to San Francisco 4 NBA Championships. He's not only one of the league's smartest defenders but also an outstanding playmaker.
Coach Steve Kerr and the rest of the team are expecting to overcome the last 2 game losses, with Green's help and leave this bitter stretch of the season behind in an effort to secure a spot to the 2024 Playoffs.
