Following Draymond Green’s recent suspension for striking Jusuf Nurkic, his former teammate, Kevin Durant, now with the Phoenix Suns, expressed concern, suggesting Green needs help and noting a change in his behavior.

In response to the controversy, Durant addressed the public perception of him, acknowledging, “I didn’t mean no ill will about what I said. I know some people look at me as this malicious snake. Passive-aggressive. I know how people feel about me sometimes,” as reported by Law Murray.

Green, in a candid moment on The Draymond Green Show, admitted that, despite an initial negative reaction to Durant’s comments, he later recognized the validity of his former teammate’s concerns.
