Draymond Green’s indefinite suspension for hitting Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic in the face nearly led to a career-altering decision for the Golden State Warriors forward.
As the 33-year-old explained during the latest episode of The Draymond Green Show, he was ready to retire from the NBA, but commissioner Adam Silver stepped in and changed his mind.
“I just told him, ‘Adam this is too much for me. … This is too much. It’s all becoming too much for me—and I’m going to retire,’” Green said. “And Adam said, ‘You’re making a very rash decision, and I won’t let you do that.’”
