The Golden State Warriors have been ousted from contention in the 2024 NBA Playoffs following their defeat in the play-in tournament game against the Sacramento Kings.

The Kings secured a convincing 118-94 victory on Tuesday, April 16, at the Golden 1 Center, delighting a former foe who expressed satisfaction at witnessing the Dubs' demise from postseason action.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic took to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to poke fun at Golden State's brutal loss.

The Bosnian center posted a GIF-"That's all folks!" followed by another post featuring two laughing emojis.

Nurkic was involved in an incident with Warriors forward Draymond Green during an early regular-season game last December 12 at the Footprint Center in Phoenix.

Green's indefinite suspension eventually turned out to be for 12 games, and he was reinstated approximately a month later.

Green and Nurkic had another heated exchange during a mid-regular-season game on February 10 at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

Although the two engaged in verbal sparring and exchanged taunts throughout the game, the confrontation did not escalate to physical violence.
