Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green and Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurki? have had a tense relationship, particularly after an incident earlier this season that led to Green’s suspension.
Recently, Nurki?’s Suns were swept out of the playoffs by the Minnesota Timberwolves, continuing his streak of early postseason exits.
Throughout his playoff career, Nurki?’s teams have won only three of his first 20 playoff games, resulting in the lowest playoff winning percentage in NBA history.
Green, known for his provocative social media presence, didn’t miss the opportunity to comment on Nurki?’s latest playoff misfortune. On his Instagram story, he posted a graphic highlighting Nurki?’s playoff struggles with the caption, “Hope that brother gets the help he needs,” paired with a series of icy-faced emojis. This echoed Nurki?’s own words about Green during his suspension earlier in the season.
Despite the Warriors being ousted during the play-in tournament, Green seemed keen to revisit their past altercation by reminding Nurki? of their ongoing discord. This move suggests that the friction between the two players is far from over.
