Latest suspension gave Draymond Green time to reflect, and he’s finally realized he has a problem.
The Golden State Warriors might be in for a turnaround as Draymond Green is coming in stronger than ever. The 33-year-old talented forward served a 12-game suspension for smacking the Suns guard Jusuf Nurkic in the face and is reinstated in the NBA. The veteran has been going through therapy to rectify his actions and even spoke about it on his podcast.
He said that going to therapy is a lot of work, but he is “enjoying that work”. DrayMagic even shed light on what he did during this indefinite suspension and how it helped him champion a change he needed to for a long time.
Draymond Green spoke about his suspension situation on “The Draymond Green Show,” and shared how the suspension benefited him. He explained, “For the first time in 17 years, I got to spend the holiday weeks with my family. So I am thankful for this time, not because I didn’t do anything wrong, I did. But I think this has been a blessing in disguise for me to center myself, recalibrate, grow, and champion this change.”
He further spoke about his love for basketball and how he likes to compete, calling his incident with Nurkic “an antic.” So after going to therapy, he has realized his issues and is making an effort to work on them. Green explicitly even said that going to therapy for 3 weeks does not mean that he is great and back to normal, because that is not how therapy works. However, he said that now that he knows his issues, he can work on them and is happy with the progress he is making.
