Draymond Green takes shot at Jusuf Nurkic after Suns get swept in first round of playoffs
During the Golden State Warriors’ 119-116 loss to the Phoenix Suns, Draymond Green was ejected from the contest. Green hit Jusuf Nurkic’s head while battling for position resulting in a flagrant two foul and an ejection.
After the game, Nurkic famously said, “I hope that brother gets the help he needs.” Since their incident in December, Nurkic and Green have had a back-and-forth battle throughout the season, with each player taking shots at each other on social media.
Fast forward to the playoffs, after the Suns were swept by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round, Green didn’t waste any time taking a shot at Nurkic.
Green shared a graphic of Nurkic’s historically bad playoff winning percentage with the same line the Suns center used in his postgame press conference in December.
