Grant Hill reveals reason behind Golden State Warriors Draymond Green’s Olympics snub

USA men’s national team managing director Grant Hill has revealed that the reason behind not selecting Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green for the Olympics 2024.

The 33-year-old became the most high-profile snub from the national contingent for the mega-event scheduled to take place in the summer this year in the French capital Paris.

Hill was recently quoted in a report where he stated that Green was not selected for this year’s mega-event because of his suspension record.

“His contributions have been significant,” said Hill. “He is a real part of the legacy of this organization for his excellence. But in lieu [sic] of what’s transpired this year, we made a decision to not have him on this list.”

“We all understand and certainly have great respect and sensitivity to this particular period in his career and he’s working through some things both on and off the court. We at USA Basketball, we want to support him on his journey. We just didn’t feel that playing over the summer gives him the best opportunity to do what he needs to do.”

Green is having a rather below-par season for the Warriors this time around where he is averaging 9.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game.
