Golden State Warrior forward Draymond Green was ejected for the third time this season after receiving a flagrant foul 2 for hitting Phoenix Suns’ player Jusuf Nurkic in the head during their 119-116 loss.

Green now faces a possible suspension, but he says that he did not intend to hit Nurkic and apologized in the post game interview.

“I apologize to Nurkic because I hit him,” said Green. “And I didn’t intend to hit him. You guys have known me long enough, if I intended to do something, I’m not apologizing for it. But I did make contact with him so I do apologize because it wasn’t my intention.”
