In a recent matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns, tensions between Draymond Green and Jusuf Nurkic were reignited. The game marked the first meeting between the two teams since Green's suspension in December for striking Nurkic in the head. The incident led to Green's realization that he needed to manage his behavior better, as he went through counseling during his time off.
However, on this particular night, it seemed that Nurkic was not convinced that Green had learned his lesson. After Nurkic executed a shot over Green and taunted him with the 'too small' gesture, Green responded with a powerful play of his own. Backing Nurkic down, Green effortlessly scored and mimicked Nurkic's floor-slapping motion.
