Indefinitely can mean anything in this case. I think it's quite possible we don't see him for the rest of this season. It's also possible he's back by March after about 20-25 games. This is unprecendented and Draymond clearly needs help before he is mentally fit to return to the court. I think they're serious because the way I understand it he has to not only meet the league's conditions but also the Warriors conditions before he is able to return so he could he be out for a very long while.

I'm glad to hear that his team is on the same page as everyone else. Hope to see a new version of him when he comes back in action.

I think that it is a good move by the NBA to let him practice with the team while he is suspended. He needs both his immediate family and his basketball family to get through this and I think being surrounded by his teammates will help him overcome his demons. Hopefully the counseling that he's being mandated by the league to get will help with the other stuff he's going through because his behavior is unacceptable.

I agree. The support system is going to help.

Is he still going to get paid while he's undergoing the suspension?

how did *some* of us posters know that this time, yes this time, it was going to be different.

we just knew.

the optics are so bad that he did this just a month after the last suspension.

there was no other way to handle this except BIG

yet some posters still did not realize it.

He forfeiting 153K a game for each game that he is suspended so he's not being paid. Its a costly suspension but it's necessary because he needs help and that's more important than basketball right now.

The guy is not even an impact player anymore. He’s a nobody.
That's simply not true. The Warriors are better with Draymond on the floor. His antics overshadow his importance to the team. They suck defensively without him on the floor and their offense isn't as good because he is such a good facilitator and sets solid screens to get shooters like Curry open. The Warriors are going to struggle without him on the floor there is no getting around that. That's why they've defended him all these years because he does a lot to help the team win.

yup and after the first 10 games it jumps to $204K per game.

he is a sick puppy and needs lots and lots of help.

From what I’ve heard the sense is that he’ll be back shortly after the new year
