Draymond Green reportedly apologized to his Golden State Warriors teammates and displayed contrition after getting ejected against the Minnesota Timberwolves earlier this week.
Green, who was suspended five games for grabbing Rudy Gobert by the neck, said that he wanted to protect his teammate but took it too far.
Steve Kerr admitted that Green deserved his five-game suspension.
“He helps us make adjustments a lot. When things aren’t going right, he’s one of the best basketball minds in the league. So he’s seeing things and he’s able to adapt and tell coach, ‘We should do this instead’ and we adjust. He makes things happen like that. Or he can just do it all himself on the court where he sees things happen. He cleans up a lot of mistakes. I think we missed that a lot from him. And he pushes the pace. When things aren’t going right, we can’t score, he pushes (it) and gets guys open shots and different guys good looks,” said Kevon Looney on Thursday about what the team will miss without Green.
The Warriors are currently on a five-game losing streak.
