SAN FRANCISCO -- As Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr welcomed Draymond Green back to practice from his indefinite suspension, Brandin Podziesmki started a round of applause.
But Green didn't think he deserved that.
"I've cost my team enough. I've cost this organization enough," Green said in a news conference on Tuesday.
Green spent the last three-and-a-half weeks in counseling, part of the requirements the NBA laid out for Green to return after striking Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic on Dec. 12.
During his first session, his therapist laid out the bottom line clearly and simply: don't do these sessions to check a requirement box or you will be wasting everyone's time.
