Green to undergo counseling
Green batted that Jusuf Nurkic was pulling his hip and swung away to sell the call. The move backfired.
"He was pulling my hip, and I was swinging away to sell the call. Made contact with him," Green explained.
After the game, the four-time All-Star apologized to Nurkic, but the damage had been done. Considering his latest antics and ejection came just six games after he served a five-game suspension for his choke on Rudy Gobert of the Minnesota Timberwolves, many believed Green needed help.
"What's going on with him? I don't know. Personally, I feel like that brother needs help," Nurkic said after their 119-116 win over the Dub via NBC Sports.
Green and his agent, Rich Paul, are set to meet with Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. on Thursday to discuss potential counseling for the embattled power forward, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
As for the Warriors, this development adds to Steve Kerr's and the team's woes. They are already struggling and losing Green indefinitely further casts doubts on how far they can go this 2023-24 season.
