NBA bad boy Draymond Green was ejected after hitting Jusuf Nurkić in the face during the Warriors’ game against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. It has been less than a month since Green was suspended for five games by the league for putting Minnesota’s Rudy Gobert in a headlock during an altercation in November. Green and Nurkić were battling in the third quarter when the Warriors’ player appeared to slightly lose his balance before inexplicably wheeling around and smacking Nurkić in the face. Nurkić immediately crumpled to the ground but eventually got up and continued the game. The referees reviewed the play before calling Green for a flagrant 2 foul, which causes an automatic ejection.
