The Golden State Warriors will be without Draymond Green for the foreseeable future.
He has been suspended indefinitely for his recent actions, throwing a punch at Jusuf Nurkic, which spurred an ejection.
This situation has been ongoing for a few days, with additional information available to the public.
Steve Kerr has been relatively quiet on the subject thus far, but he did speak about it in a postgame conversation shared via Malika Andrews.
Kerr only seems concerned with Green’s well-being moving forward, saying, “It’s about more than basketball.”
Steve Kerr addressed Draymond Green’s indefinite suspension for the first time:
“It’s about more than basketball. It’s about helping Draymond … The one who choked Rudy (Gobert)… the one who punched Jordan (Poole) last year, that’s the guy who needs to change.” pic.twitter.com/KozrfwmhUF

He added that Green is “The one who choked Rudy (Gobert), the one who punched Jordan (Poole) last year, that’s the guy who needs to change.”
Kerr didn’t sugarcoat anything in his response to questioning, indicating that he was more than ready to talk about the situation.
Green has a history of getting ejected and suspended from games, but Kerr hopes this is a wake-up call for him moving forward.
He is a veteran of this team and a four-time NBA Champion.
While Green is a valued member of the organization, if he keeps these outbursts up, it will not be a good look for him or the Warriors.
His return timeline to the court remains to be seen.
Fans will have to wait and see what happens with Green and if he or the team will take any interventions.
Until then, the Warriors will move forward without him, hoping Green can get some much-needed rest while returning to a calm head space.
