Feud between Green and Nurkic escalates on social media

The ongoing feud between Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green and Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic has taken a new turn, with the players engaging in a heated exchange on social media.

This animosity traces back to a previous incident in December where Green struck Nurkic in the head, resulting in a suspension for the Warriors' player.
