There is absolutely no love lost between Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green and Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkić. The ongoing saga dates back to December 2023, when Green hit Nurkić in the head, earning him a flagrant 2 and ejection, and eventually a lengthy suspension by the NBA.

Part of the Warriors veteran's disciplinary action was attending regular Zoom calls with a seven-person panel comprised of league officials, Warriors representatives and Green's agent, Rich Paul. NBA commissioner Adam Silver dubbed it the "DG check-in calls," according to a report from ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk.

This season, Green is averaging 8.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game, but with poor 41.7/36.2/61.5 shooting splits. Green continues to do so much for this Warriors squad but is certainly taking steps back from his prime.
