The NBA has given NBA player Draymond Green an indefinite suspension for hitting Jusuf Nurkic during a matchup with the Phoenix Suns. While Bobby Marks of ESPN pointed out that Green may lose more than $2 million if suspended for 15 games and would have to pay a fine of $153,941 each game, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski confirmed the sentence. Talks concerning the Golden State Warriors’ financial and competitive ramifications have been spurred by this incident.

In the event that the NBA decides to impose a ban longer than 20 games, the veteran four-time All-Star will be assessed a fine of $202,922 per game, which could add up to a whopping $4 million if the suspension is extended to its maximum. The recent actions of Green, which happened during the game the night before, shocked the fans. The player explained what he had done, saying that he was only trying to get the authorities to call a call rather than hurt Nurkic.

Green shared; “I thought he was pulling my hip, and I was swinging a way to sell the call, and [I] made contact with him,” an article from sportskeeda.com mentioned.

He further added; “I sell calls with my arms. I don’t fall to sell a call, I’m not a flopper. So I was just selling the call because he was grabbing me and pulling my hip back. So I spun away, and, unfortunately, I hit him,” an article from sportskeeda.com mentioned.

What is the net worth of Draymond Green?

A defensive colossus, Draymond Green has established himself as a titan on the court and amassed incredible wealth with the Warriors. Not only has his NBA skill brought him recognition, but as of October 2023, his net worth was estimated to be $90 million.

Inking a hefty four-year, $100 million contract in the summer, Green chose to forego a $27.6 million player option and become an unrestricted free agent, further solidifying his commitment to Golden State. His off-court strategy matches his on-court skills, cementing his legacy as a financial whiz as well as a basketball player.

Green obtains a hefty new contract, boosting his yearly income to over $25 million. His income for the current season is an astounding $22 million. When his contract expires, he will have to make a crucial decision: he will have the option to exercise his alluring $27.6 million player option or pursue unrestricted free agency.
