Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green experienced his fourth ejection of the season on March 27, which has been characterized by tumultuous behavior on the court. Green has also faced suspensions for on-court conduct this season, including an indefinite suspension. His behavior reached a peak during last season’s training camp when he punched then-teammate Jordan Poole in the face. The most recent ejection even caused Stephen Curry to become emotional, showing support for Green despite his actions.
During a podcast, Green asked teammate Klay Thompson to be “brutally honest” about how he feels when Green is ejected or suspended. Thompson expressed that Green is a vital part of the team and his absence has a significant impact on the team’s performance. Thompson emphasized that Green’s presence on the court is essential for the team’s success and that they struggle to perform without him. He highlighted Green’s leadership and inspiration to the team, emphasizing that they need him to be at their best and succeed.
Green admitted that he feels the most remorse for Curry and Thompson when he finds himself in trouble on the court. He expressed gratitude for their support and acknowledged the importance of their brotherhood. Green’s behavior also had repercussions on Curry’s leadership, with questions arising about his ability to lead the team in light of Green’s actions. Despite the challenges, the Warriors have shown improvement with a 25-11 record in their last 36 games, although their 19-24 start has kept them in the play-in tournament.
As the 10th seed, the Warriors would currently face the Los Angeles Lakers in a win-or-go-home situation. Despite the team’s struggles, Green’s teammates continue to convey their support and emphasize his importance to the team. The future of the Warriors remains uncertain as they navigate through challenges on and off the court.
