The Golden Warriors faced the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday without Draymond Green. However, the team did not have any trouble winning the game, as Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins led the team to a 118-114 victory. Thompson scored 28 points, with four rebounds and one assist. While Wiggins scored 25 points, seven rebounds and two assists. Curry played for only 31 minutes and scored seven points with two rebounds and eight assists, but those were enough because the team got the win by four points.
Green was recently suspended indefinitely by the NBA after striking Phoenix Suns’ center Jusuf Nurkic in the face on Tuesday. Before facing the Warriors, the Blazers trolled Green by comparing his behavior to their entire roster.
Portland posted a data analysis

The Blazers posted data showing how many fines and technical calls Green received compared to their entire roster. The franchise clearly wanted to show how bad Green was in terms of behavior by displaying the $2.4 million difference between his fins and theirs. Portland stated that they had 120 fewer technical fouls and 19 fewer ejections. This was definitely a crazy idea to unveil the data before the Monday matchup.
Green hit Nurkic in the face

Last Tuesday, Draymond Green hit Jusuf Nurkic in the face when the Golden State Warriors went up against the Phoenix Suns. The League’s officials were totally disappointed with Green’s actions, leading executive vice president and head of basketball operations Joe Dumars to suspend him indefinitely. The outcome took into account Green’s previous examples of unsportsmanlike conduct.
He also choked Rudy Gobert

Earlier this season, Green found himself in another messed-up situation when he put Minnesota Timberwolves’ center Rudy Gobert in a chokehold. While Draymond claimed that he did it to defend Klay Thompson, many believe there were ulterior motives behind his actions that went beyond protecting his teammate. Throughout his NBA career, Green has always been known for being involved in arguments and fights. Many people now believe that whenever he hits someone, it is definitely intentional. Many Warriors fans think they won’t see Green for a while, but according to reports, he could be back with the team as soon as January 1.
