Warriors forward Draymond Green was suspended indefinitely by the NBA on Wednesday following him smacking Jusuf Nurkić in the head the night before.
Golden State coach Steve Kerr spoke about the suspension for the first time on Thursday ahead of the team’s game vs. the Clippers. He shared why he believes the indefinite suspension was in Green’s best interest, as he needs some time to work on himself.
“I think the suspension makes sense,” Kerr said. “To me, this is about more than basketball. It’s about helping Draymond. I think it’s an opportunity for Draymond to step away and to make a change in his approach, in his life. That’s not an easy thing to do. That’s not something you say ‘Okay, we’re going to do five games, and then he’s going to be fine.’
