Good morning, gang! Davey Mac here with another action-packed Sports Report for ya! Yankees have an award-winner! Basketball and hockey scores! Tonight’s NFL matchup! But first…
…Well…he’s done it again. The Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green has been suspended by the NBA (yet again). Green and Golden State were playing the Minnesota Timberwolves when Green and T-Wolves center Rudy Gobert got into an altercation. Green then when into a modified rear-naked choke (a la UFC) and Gobert was stunned.
The NBA is also fining Green $25,000 for the fight. This is now the fifth time Green has been suspended in his career. WOW!
Still…it doesn’t look like Steph Curry has an issue with any of this. While Steph and Clay Thompson are two of the greatest shooters ever…someone has to do the dirty work…and that’s where Draymond comes in. He’s a great defender and rebounder…but also has his wild side. Check out some of Green’s most notorious moments below! And then we’re on to the Scoreboard!
