I think an indefinite suspension for Draymond is probably the right call, I’m just surprised to see the league make it. That’s the sort of thing that usually leads to a fight with the NBPA, but after this many incidents and a five-game suspension already, it feels necessary. – 8:05 PM

Draymond Green continues to be completely out of control.
Just cold-cocked Jusuf Nurkic to the face. Looks like another ejection. – 11:42 PM

Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
Uh, yeah, that’s an ejection. And a suspension. Incredibly foolish move by Draymond. Again. – 11:41 PM

Halftime of the Warriors at Suns game and Kevon Looney and Draymond Green have combined for 0 points, that’s right ZERO, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 0 blocks and 0 steals. Get Trayce Jackson-Davis in the second half, I mean the front court play couldn’t get worse. #dubnation – 11:23 PM
