Nurkić on Draymond Green's assault: This has nothing to do with basketball

(Patria) - Golden State Warriors basketball player Draymond Green needs help, because what he did in the match against us is not normal, says Phoenix Suns basketball player Jusuf Nurkić.

The Bosnian representative believes he was lucky that Green only hit him once and emphasized that what was done has nothing to do with basketball.

The Bosnian basketball player fell to the floor, but according to information from the USA, he did not suffer any serious injuries.

This is not the first time Green has caused similar incidents, as just a month ago during a match against Minnesota, he grabbed Rudy Gobert from behind by the neck and threw him to the ground, while Gobert had his hands raised high, not wanting to provoke further ugly scenes.

For that move, the Golden State player received a five-game suspension, and there is no doubt that after what happened in the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, he faces a new, likely even harsher penalty.
