The Golden State Warriors won't be making an appearance in this year's NBA playoffs after falling short against the Sacramento Kings, losing 118-94 in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament game.

The game had a bittersweet undertone as it might mark the end of an era for the historic trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. This three has been playing together since 2012 and clinched four NBA championships during their time together.

One person who did not seem too broken up about the Warriors' elimination is Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic. He seemingly took a jab at Draymond Green's playoff exit with a couple of tweets on social media.

Nurkic shared a GIF saying, "That's all, Folks!" followed by a couple of laughing emojis.

This playful dig might stem from a rocky history between Green and Nurkic this season.

Earlier, Green was suspended indefinitely for delivering a hard slap to Nurkic's face during a game. Additionally, the two players have engaged in verbal spats throughout the season.
