The NBA announced this Wednesday an indefinite suspension for Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors), who on Tuesday was expelled for the third time this season following slapping Jusuf Nurkic (Phoenix Suns) in the face.

The NBA, which already suspended Green for five games for an expulsion earlier this season, assured that in this decision it took into consideration “the repeated history of unsportsmanlike actions” of this player.

The suspension will begin immediately and Green will have to meet certain league and team requirements, not specified in the press release, in order to return to the field.

Adrian Wojnarowski (ESPN) and Shams Charania (The Athtletic), the two journalists with the best sources within the NBA, maintained that Green will receive support and professional help so that a similar situation does not happen once more.

Wojnarowski also assured that Green will meet tomorrow with the Warriors’ general manager, Mike Dunleavy Jr., and his agent, Rich Paul, to establish the roadmap for his return.

“The league did not want to put a specific number (of games) on the suspension but rather allowed Green to take the time he may need to deal with the challenges he is facing,” the ESPN journalist wrote on X, the social network before known as Twitter.

Green’s indefinite absence represents one more problem for the Warriors in total crisis with a terrible record of 4-11 in their last 15 games (10-13 in total balance).

The keys to expulsion

Green was expelled this Tuesday for slapping Nurkic in the face in the game between the Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors.

With 8:23 in the third quarter, the Warriors element was fighting to gain position once morest the Suns interior when he turned around and hit Nurkic in the face, who ended up on the ground.

The referees reviewed what happened and called a type 2 flagrant, so Green went to the shower early.

Green, essential in Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson’s Warriors but who has a long history of very controversial and controversial actions, has already been expelled twice this season.

The most serious of them was in mid-November when he grabbed Rudy Gobert by the neck with a key in a conflict in the duel once morest the Minnesota Timberwolves, an expulsion for which he also received a five-game ban from the NBA.

After Tuesday’s game, which ended with a victory for the Suns (119-116), Green appeared before the media and apologized to Nurkic.

“He was grabbing my hip and I was moving to try to get the refs to see a foul and making contact with him. As you know, I am not one to apologize for things that he wanted to do, but I do apologize to Jusuf because he had no intention of hitting him,” he said at a press conference.

Green repeated his apologies on several occasions, acknowledged that it was “a hard blow” that falls into the category of flagrant type 2 and noted that it was an “unfortunate” incident in which he made contact with Nurkic accidentally.

For his part, Nurkic, also before journalists following the meeting, gave his version of what happened and showed his concern for Green’s mental health.

“What happens? Don’t know. Personally I think this brother needs help. “I’m happy that he didn’t try to drown me… But at the same time he had nothing to do with basketball,” the center said with irony.

“I’m there trying to play basketball and he’s there hitting. I think we’ve seen it often, but I hope that whatever he has in his life is going to get better,” he added.

The world of Pokémon cards reaches a new milestone with the record sale of one of the rarest and most coveted cards: the Pikachu Illustrator.

Read laterSavedFollow #Pokémon#Pokémon Tracking

The Pokémon card market is experiencing unprecedented excitement, with some rare items reaching astronomical sums. The Pikachu Illustrator card, in particular, stands out for its extreme rarity and value.

Discover our latest podcast

In 2021, YouTuber Logan Paul acquired a PSA Grade 10 quality version for more than $5 million, setting a record. In 2023, once more, the head-turning card records another historic sale.

New all-time record for a Pokémon card

Today, Pokémon Company can add a new record to its already busy list. Another Pikachu Illustrator card was still sold for an impressive 2 million dollars on the Goldin auction site. We are far from the record of 5 million, but this sale positions it as the second most expensive Pokémon card to dateright behind the Pikachu Illustrator card, purchased by Logan Paul.

And we are not at the end of our surprises. Another identical Pikachu Illustrator card is currently up for auction on Goldin, probably put up for sale by the same owner. As of this writing, bidding has already reached $240,000 following just 13 offerssuggesting a sale price potentially equal to or higher than that of the card in question.

39 existing maps in the world

For those who wonder regarding these brain-twisting figures, a few clarifications are in order. Pikachu Illustrator cards are extremely rare: we are talking precisely regarding 39 existing cards, indicates the specialized site vintageisthenewold. They were given to the winners of an illustration competition organized by the Japanese magazine CoroCoro between 1997 and 1998. These cards, at least 25 years old, are true relics.

Preserving them in good enough condition to obtain a PSA (Professional Sports Authenticators) rating of 9 or 10 represents a major challenge for any collector. The slightest little “problem” is enough to divide the value of a card. These days, only millionaires seem to be able to afford these treasures… unless you won a Pokémon illustration contest in Japan in 1998!

Swiss National Bank (SNB) Maintains Key Rate at 1.75%: The Latest Monetary Policy Updates

The Swiss National Bank (SNB) maintained its key rate at 1.75% on Thursday, pausing for the second time in a row. Faced with uncertainties, the issuing institution will “adapt if necessary” its monetary policy and remains prepared to intervene “if necessary” in the foreign exchange market.

After five rate increases decided from June 2022, the SNB opted at the end of September for an initial monetary status quo, believing that it had succeeded in countering “the persistent inflationary pressure” in Switzerland.

Since the summer, consumer prices have in fact marked a sharp decline, going from 1.7% in June year-on-year to 1.4% at the last reading in November. Inflation thus falls within the objective of 0% to 2% sought by the Swiss issuing institute and which it equates with price stability.

Despite this relaxation on the price front, “there is reason to expect that inflation will increase somewhat once more in the coming months due to the increase in electricity prices as well as rents and the increase in value added tax,” warned the Swiss central bank.

“Therefore, the National Bank will continue to carefully monitor the situation and if necessary adapt its monetary policy so that inflation in the medium term remains within the range of price stability,” she added.

The Fed maintains the status quo

This announcement comes as the American Federal Reserve (Fed) decided on Wednesday to maintain the monetary status quo following its last meeting of the year.

In addition to the Fed the day before and the SNB this Thursday morning, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England (BoE) must announce their monetary policy decisions later in the day.

Returning to global growth, President Thomas Jordan recalled that “the growth of the United States economy has been solid (and) that of European countries has remained weak.”

“In most countries, inflation has fallen significantly in recent months”, but “as inflation remains above the targets set, monetary policies should, initially, remain restrictive in many countries”, continued the boss of the BNS, according to the text of his speech. According to the latter, “inflationary pressure should further ease.”
