[Saba Sports News] Draymond Green and Jusuf Nurkic are quickly escalating toward a fierce rivalry. The Golden State Warriors star made some pointed remarks about Nurkic on Monday’s episode of “Inside the NBA” on TNT, stating that the Phoenix Suns “ain’t got no big man,” a clear jab at Nurkic, Phoenix’s starting center.
Nurkic responded on X, saying, “I see that brother still needs help. STILL [crying emoji] ABOUT KD [Kevin Durant], he don’t like #drayover.”
Their feud dates back to December when Green hit Nurkic in the head during a game, resulting in Green’s suspension. This incident sparked a series of public exchanges, including Nurkic trolling Green for missing the playoffs.
Recently, Green reconciled with another longtime adversary, but it appears that Nurkic has taken over that role.
