In a major development shaking the NBA community, the Golden State Warriors have officially released a statement regarding the ongoing situation involving veteran forward Draymond Green. The team addressed mounting concerns over Green’s behavior during the preseason and confirmed disciplinary action has been taken.
“The Golden State Warriors organization has always held itself—and its players—to the highest standards of professionalism, both on and off the court. After a thorough internal review, we have made the difficult decision to suspend Draymond Green indefinitely, effective immediately,” the team’s official statement read.
The suspension comes after an incident during a closed-door scrimmage earlier this week, which sources say involved a heated altercation between Green and a younger teammate. While full details have not been publicly disclosed, the team emphasized that the decision was made with the goal of preserving team culture and accountability.
“Draymond has been an integral part of our success over the past decade,” said General Manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. “But there are lines that cannot be crossed. This decision reflects our commitment to a positive and respectful environment for all players.”
Draymond Green, a four-time NBA Champion and former Defensive Player of the Year, has had a history of on-court intensity that often spills into controversy. Though beloved by fans for his leadership and grit, this is not his first disciplinary issue. However, many did not expect such a decisive move from the Warriors’ front office ahead of the 2025–26 season.
In response to the suspension, Green issued a brief comment via social media:
“I accept the team’s decision and take full responsibility for my actions. I’ve let my teammates and the organization down. I’ll use this time to reflect and come back better.”
As of now, there is no official timetable for his return. League officials are reportedly monitoring the situation, and further action by the NBA could follow, depending on the outcome of ongoing reviews.
Fans and analysts are now left wondering how this suspension will impact the Warriors’ chemistry heading into the new season, especially with rising stars stepping into more prominent roles.
