Avast ye! Me hearties be knowin' that this scallywag, Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors, be gettin' a five-game suspension for tusslin' with Rudy Gobert. But ye see, 'tis not the first time this rascal be gettin' disciplined by the NBA. Arrr!

In a recent brawl between the Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves, Draymond Green found himself in hot water after putting Rudy Gobert in a headlock. Green intervened in a scuffle between Klay Thompson and Jaden McDaniels, resulting in both benches clearing and Green being ejected with a flagrant-2 foul. Following a review, Green was suspended for five games, starting on November 16 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This is not the first time Green has been involved in altercations, as suspensions and fines have become a regular part of his game.
Just days before the incident with Gobert, Green had a tussle with Donovan Mitchell of the Cleveland Cavaliers, resulting in Green shoving Mitchell in the back. Green received two technical fouls in that game and the NBA launched an investigation. In a playoff matchup against the Sacramento Kings, Green stepped on Damontas Sabonis' chest, leading to a suspension. Green has also accumulated technical fouls throughout the season, resulting in a one-game suspension. Notably, Green made headlines when he punched his own teammate, Jordan Poole, during practice. He publicly apologized and was fined by the Warriors.
Another noteworthy altercation occurred between Green and Kevin Durant, leading to a suspension for conduct detrimental to the team. The dispute arose when Green failed to pass the ball to Durant, resulting in a loss to the Clippers. Years later, Durant expressed that reconciliation was unlikely due to the Warriors' handling of the situation. Green's most infamous suspension came during the 2016 NBA Finals against the Cavaliers, where he scuffled with LeBron James and hit him in the groin area. Green was then suspended for Game 5, which ultimately shifted the momentum in favor of the Cavaliers.
Green's on-court altercations have become a recurring theme in his career, with each incident adding to his reputation as a fiery and controversial player. While his skills and accolades, including being a four-time All-Star and a Defensive Player of the Year, cannot be denied, Green's disciplinary issues continue to plague him.
