Draymond was given a flagrant foul 2 in the loss.

Golden State Warriors center Draymond Green was ejected from his organization’s 119-116 defeat against the Phoenix Suns after receiving a flagrant foul 2 for hitting Jusuf Nurkic in the head.

That was Draymond’s 3rd ejection since the beginning of the campaign, and now the forward could miss even more time as the NBA will review the incident for an additional punishment.

The Golden State center was ejected at the beginning of the 3rd quarter while he struck Nurkic in the head, and after a video review, the referees ejected Green.

“I am not 1 to apologize for things I mean to do, but I do apologize to Nurkic because It was not my intention to strike him,” Draymond shared after the match. “I tried to receive fouls with my arms … so I was selling the call … and I swung, and that’s how the incident happened.”
