Draymond Green has faced an indefinite suspension from the NBA after an incident where he struck Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic during a game with the Golden State Warriors. This comes after Green previously received a five-game suspension for choking Rudy Gobert in a heated match. In response to Draymond’s recent situation, Gobert shared his perspective while speaking to ESPN.
Expressing empathy, Gobert stated, “I have empathy for him. You see somebody that’s not well inside and suffering. You take away the game and all that, and you want somebody to be well and be able to do what we do every night and compete and be happy.”
Gobert’s comments followed the Timberwolves’ victory over the Dallas Mavericks with a score of 119-101.
