Draymond Green's Headlock on Rudy Gobert: The Latest in Timberwolves-Warriors Rivalry
Warriors Forward Suspended Five Games After Incident
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has been suspended for five games without pay after putting Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert in a headlock during a game on November 9th. The incident occurred during the third quarter of the game, with the Warriors leading 95-73. Gobert was attempting to post up Green when Green grabbed him from behind and held him in a headlock. The two players fell to the ground, and Green continued to hold Gobert until he was separated by referees.
Gobert Expresses Empathy for Green
Speaking to reporters after the game, Gobert said he felt empathy for Green, who he believes was acting out of frustration. "I think he was just frustrated with the way the game was going," Gobert said. "We were beating them pretty good, and he was just trying to do something to spark his team. I don't hold it against him." Green has a history of physical altercations on the court, and this incident is likely to further damage his reputation.
