‘His career was on the line’: Steve Kerr reflects on Draymond Green’s season since last Rudy Gobert matchup

Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green grabs Minnesota Timberwolves’ Rudy Gobert and put him in a headlock during the confrontation between Golden State Warriors’ Klay Thompson and Minnesota Timberwolves’ Jaden McDaniels in the first quarter of a NBA game at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2023. Green, Thompson and McDaniels were ejected from the game. Green was issued a Flagrant 2 foul and Thompson and McDaniels were issued technical fouls.

“Clearly, it didn’t affect him enough, the suspension,” Kerr said. “I think he got suspended games. But that didn’t affect him enough to change his behavior, because when he came back, he took the swing at Nurkic in Phoenix. I really think his career was on the line at that point. I really do. Like, the way our discussions with the league, the nature of the suspension — indefinite — it was clear that the league wanted to see real change. And we all did.

Green has been whistled for a handful of technical fouls, but hasn’t been ejected from a game. He recently got involved in a dust-up with Santi Aldama and Desmond Bane, but no one got thrown out in the brouhaha.
