Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has been suspended for five games by the NBA for putting Rudy Gobert in a chokehold during a game.
Rudy Gobert, Jaden McDaniels, and Klay Thompson were also fined $25,000 each by the league.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has been handed a five-game suspension by the NBA following an altercation with Minnesota Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert. The incident, which saw Green put Gobert in a chokehold, occurred in the opening minutes of a game, leading to Green's ejection.

The altercation began when Warriors' Klay Thompson got entangled with Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels. Both Thompson and McDaniels, along with Gobert, were fined $25,000 each by the league for their involvement in the scuffle.

Gobert, who referred to Green's actions as 'clown behaviour', called on the NBA to take appropriate action. He voiced his displeasure with his fine, stating that he was being a peacemaker and chose to keep his hands up while being assaulted. He has expressed dissatisfaction with the league's ruling and plans to appeal the fine, arguing that he acted as a peacemaker during the altercation.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr defended Green, stating he was merely defending teammate Klay Thompson. The suspension will cost Green $769,704 in forfeited salary. The Warriors are already without star point guard Steph Curry due to knee soreness.

The suspension starts as the Warriors take on the Oklahoma City Thunder.
