When asked about Draymond’s new suspension, Gobert shows empathy.
It’s been fun to watch NBA fans, players, and experts talk about Draymond Green’s indefinite ban since he hit Jusuf Nurkić within the face during Tuesday night’s loss to the Phoenix Suns.
One of Green’s past targets, Minnesota Timberwolves forward Rudy Gobert, was the most recent player to talk about what happened.
Following Thursday night’s 119-101 win over the Dallas Mavericks, Gobert told ESPN, “I feel bad for him.”
“You see a person who is sick on the inside and in pain.” If you take away the competition and all that, you want someone to be healthy and able to do what we as a team do every night, which is compete or be happy.
Nurkić feels the same way Gobert does because the 7-foot-1 center had a similar experience with Green not long ago.
Green, Thompson, as well as McDaniels were all kicked out of the game, and Green was later banned for five games by the NBA for his part in the fight.
After Thompson and Jaden McDaniels got into a heated argument just 100 seconds into Golden State’s loss to Minnesota on November 14, Gobert tried to pull Thompson away, but Green choked him and dragged him across the court for a few seconds.
In a recent interview in ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, Green said that he saw video of the Gobert event on his phone as well as was shocked by what he saw.
“When I watched it back, I said, ‘Damn, I held him much longer compared to I realized in that moment,'” Green shared with Shelburne. “But in those situations, you really don’t know when it is.”
About a month after the event with Gobert, Green was returned to the same situation, even though he had promised to do better and stick with the team. You’re not aware of time.”
This time, it happened in the final minute of the match on Tuesday against the Suns. Green thought Nurkić was grabbing his waist during an inbounds play, so he turned to make a foul call but hit Nurkić in the face instead.
For this, the NBA suspended Green for an indefinite amount of time. They didn’t want to put a time limit on the ban because they would like Green to take as long as he needs to get better before going back to the court.
Many people have been hurt by Draymond Green during his time in the NBA. The last player he hurt was Rudy Gobert, a center for the Timberwolves. Surprisingly, Gobert didn’t say a word about Green’s ban.
Rudy Gobert talked about how he felt about Draymond Green’s indefinite ban in an interview with ESPN’s Tim MacMahon. Rudy Gobert is the one who should have a certain attitude about Draymond Green.
Gobert told ESPN, “I feel sorry for him.” “You see a person who is sick on the inside and in pain.” If you take away the experience and all that, you want someone to be healthy and able to do what we all do every night, which is compete as well as be happy.
Green’s chokehold on Gobert was not only too much, but it also led to unneeded stories about the Timberwolves, in many people calling them soft. Even though Gobert feels terrible for Green, he still thinks that Green should be punished.
It may hurt Warriors supporters to say this, but Draymond Green earned the punishment of being suspended for life.
He hurt other NBA players over and over again without getting in trouble for it, and he never took responsibility for what he did. Someone had to stop letting him get away with it at some point.
