Warriors forward Draymond Green will be suspended indefinitely following his ejection during Tuesday night’s game vs. the Suns, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Wednesday.

The league confirmed the reports of Green’s suspension shortly after with a statement.

“This outcome takes into account Green’s repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts,” the statement read in part.

Green drew a flagrant 2 foul when he punched Suns’ big man Jusuf Nurkić in the face during the third quarter of the game. It was Green’s third ejection so far this season, and comes just a few weeks after he made headlines for putting Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert in a chokehold.

While Green’s suspension is indefinite, the NBA’s statement says that the veteran forward will be “required to meet certain league and team conditions before he returns to play.”
