At last night’s match between Phoenix and Golden State, Draymond Green slapped Jusuf Nurkic, who spoke after the match. In the third quarter, Green turned and hit Nurkić hard, who fell to the floor, and Green was sent off.
After all, Nurkic said:
“I don’t know what’s wrong with him. I think he needs professional help. I’m glad he didn’t try to strangle me. This has nothing to do with basketball.”
And Green made his comment after the game.
“As you know, I don’t apologize for the things I intended to do, but I apologize to Jusuf because I didn’t intend to hit him,” Green said after the match.
Phoenix defeated Golden State 119:116, and Jusuf Nurkic had a double-double performance by scoring 17 points and adding 13 rebounds.
