The ongoing feud between Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors and Jusuf Nurkic of the Phoenix Suns has taken another turn, with both players exchanging heated words on social media.
The tension between the two players escalated earlier this season when Green was suspended for hitting Nurkic in the face during a game. Nurkic publicly stated that Green “needs help” after the incident, sparking a war of words between the two.
After the Sacramento Kings eliminated the Warriors from the play-in tournament, Nurkic took to Twitter to throw shade at Green and his team. In response, Green called Nurkic the “biggest hater” in the league during an interview on “The Big Podcast” with Shaquille O’Neal.
Green went on to criticize Nurkic’s poor playoff record, pointing out that despite the Suns’ star-studded roster, they were swept in the first round of the playoffs. The Warriors, on the other hand, are facing an uncertain future as their dynasty appears to be coming to an end.
Despite the turmoil, Green is committed to staying with the Warriors through the 2026-27 season and has no plans to “ring chase” at the end of his career. The feud between Green and Nurkic adds another layer of drama to an already intense rivalry between the Warriors and the Suns.
