According to Shams Charania from The Athletic, the Golden State Warriors forward has been suspended indefinitely by the NBA for punching Jusuf Nurkic during the match. Additionally, Green is set to receive counseling and will return to the league only after meeting certain criteria.

Green will meet with his agent, Rich Paul, and Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. on Thursday to discuss the path moving forward, Adrian Wojnarowski from ESPN adds.

The altercation between Green and Nurkic occurred as they were fighting for position on an in-bounds play. Green spun around and delivered a hard right to Nurkic's face, landing a slap in the ear area.

Green apologized to Nurkic after the game but tried to explain that the turnaround punch was not intentional. Meanwhile, the Bosnian center said that Green needed help.

It's already the fourth high-profile event for Green in the last year. Notably, he punched his then-teammate Jordan Poole during a Warriors practice before the start of the 2022-23 season. In last year's playoffs, he violently stomped on Sacramento Kings star Domantas Sabonis and got suspended for it. This season, he choked Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert mid-game and got suspended for 5 games for it.
