Draymond Green would be set to miss games against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets among others
NBA fans have been left furious after the length of Draymond Green’s suspension was revealed.
The Golden State Warriors forward went viral on Tuesday night after he put Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Golbert in a headlock during their 104-101 loss.

The incident led to calls for Green to be suspended by the NBA, and now the league has done just that.
On Wednesday, NBA Communications tweeted a statement revealing that Green is set to be suspended for five games without pay.
The statement went on to add: “The length of the suspension is based in part on Green’s history of unsportsmanlike acts.”
But as far as many fans are concerned, this is far from enough.
One such fan took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to comment: “Only 5 !?!?! The league is a joke.”
A second said: “Shoulda been a suspension for life IMO.”
As another suggested: “Should’ve been 20.”
While one joked: “Only 5? Worth it then.”
The headlock came just 1:40 into the game after tensions rose between Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels and Warriors guard Klay Thompson.
The two were then pulled apart by teammates, with Green coming up behind Gobert and grabbing him around his neck, pulling him back.
Coaches and players attempted to intervene before Green eventually let Gobert drop to the floor.
Both McDaniels and Thompson were subsequently handed two technical fouls each by the officials and ejected.
They were each handed a $25,000 fine by the NBA.
As for Green, he was called for a Flagrant Foul 2 and ejected from the game.
This marked the second time that the 33-year-old has been tossed from a game in the space of a week after he was ejected from their 118-110 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on November 11.
Speaking after the game, per ESPN, Gobert said: “My first thought was just, ‘I’m not going to fight. I need to be in this game to help my team.’
“I just showed the ref that I had my hands up, and I just waited until the situation was over. Nothing more than that. It wasn’t a good enough choke to put me to sleep.”
Warriors coach Steve Kerr also weighed in on the incident after the game, saying: “Rudy had his hands on Klay’s neck. That’s why Draymond went after Rudy.”
Green will now miss two games against the Oklahoma City Thunder, and one against the Houston Rockets, the Phoenix Suns, and the San Antonio Spurs.

In a dramatic turn of events, the tech world is abuzz with Elon Musk’s latest vow to reveal the true nature of Bill Gates. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO has always been known for his outspoken nature, but this time, he seems to be taking it to a whole new level. In a series of tweets, Musk declared his intention to expose Gates, saying, “I’m gonna show you who he really is.”

The rivalry between Musk and Gates isn’t new. Over the years, they’ve clashed on various issues, from the viability of electric vehicles to the importance of renewable energy. However, Musk’s recent statements suggest that their differences go beyond business and technology.

The Catalyst
This latest conflict appears to have been sparked by Gates’ comments on electric vehicles. Gates, who has been a vocal critic of Musk’s ambitions in the past, recently expressed skepticism about the feasibility of long-haul electric trucks, a market Musk has been actively pursuing with Tesla’s Semi truck. Musk, known for his sharp retorts, didn’t hold back. He took to Twitter to express his displeasure and hint at more to come.
“It’s Time for the Truth”
In his tweets, Musk alluded to having inside knowledge about Gates that the public isn’t aware of. “People need to know the truth. It’s time to reveal who Bill Gates really is,” Musk tweeted. This has left many wondering what Musk might be hinting at. Is it personal, professional, or something entirely different?
Reactions and Speculations
The tech community and the public at large have been buzzing with speculation since Musk’s tweets. Some believe it’s just another case of Musk’s bravado and penchant for drama. Others, however, are genuinely curious about what revelations might come to light.
“Elon Musk has always been a maverick. He’s not afraid to speak his mind, and if he says he has something to reveal, it’s worth paying attention to,” said tech analyst Sarah Thompson.
On the other hand, supporters of Bill Gates have come to his defense, emphasizing his contributions to technology and philanthropy. “Bill Gates has done more for the world than most people could ever dream of. Musk’s claims are baseless and an attempt to distract from his own controversies,” said an anonymous source close to Gates.
What’s Next?
As of now, Bill Gates has not publicly responded to Musk’s tweets. Whether this will escalate into a full-blown feud or fizzle out remains to be seen. Musk has promised to reveal more details soon, and the world is watching closely.
One thing is certain: when two of the world’s most influential tech moguls clash, it’s bound to make headlines. The coming days and weeks will likely bring more developments in this saga, and the tech world will be on the edge of its seat, waiting to see what Musk reveals about Gates.
In an era where transparency and accountability are highly valued, Musk’s promise to “show who Bill Gates really is” could have significant repercussions, not just for the individuals involved, but for the tech industry as a whole. Stay tuned as this story unfolds.
