NBA – The best of world basketball with the 2023-24 regular season: a unique show that every night offers records, highlights, spectacular plays, statistics, rumors and curiosities, on and off the court. Here are the 5 most tantalizing and peculiar moments of the night in American basketball.

The curtain rises on the 2023-24 NBA regular season, a marathon of 82 games that will lead to the playoffs and the Finals, the final act with the presentation of the Larry O’Brien Trophy. We start again with the reigning champion Denver Nuggets, but many are ready to dethrone them: from the Bucks of Giannis and Lillard to the Lakers of James and Davis, passing through the Celtics, the Suns of Durant, Booker and Beal, and the Warriors who have added Chris Paul. Without forgetting an eye for the other Italians Danilo Gallinari, expected to have an important year after his long ιnjury, and Simone Fontecchio, who will elbow the Utah Jazz to earn a new contract. A unique show that every night offers records, highlights, spectacular plays, statistics, rumors and curiosities, inside and outside the parquet.

So here are summarized the 5 most tantalizing and particular moments of the night in American basketball.

The Golden State Warriors lose again after having had a double-digit lead (10-13 record) and ʀɪsᴋ having to do without Draymond Green again, who recently returned after a 5-match suspension. In fact, after a few minutes in the third quarter, Green saw fit to get himself sent off for a blatant ѕℓαρ in the face of Jusuf Nurkic of the Suns, an excessive gesture to get rid of the marking which the protagonist defined as “involuntary” but which, given the slew of previous rubbish, it’s hard to believe. For Draymond it is the 18th expulsion of his career, the most among active players.

DRAYMOND: “I APOLOGIZE.” NURKIC: “Thank goodness I didn’t get choked”

In the press conference Draymond Green tries to throw water on the fire, even without being very convincing: “You know that I’m not the type to apologize for what he does, but in this case I want to apologize to Jusuf because it wasn’t my intention to ʜɪᴛ him in the face” . Green said the  вℓσω was “involuntary, I didn’t мєαи to ʜɪᴛ him.” Hard to believe him, even Nurkic himself said: “What’s wrong with him? I honestly don’t know. Personally I think he needs help, at least he didn’t try to choke me. However, it had nothing to do with basketball, I was playing, he’s there punching. I really hope that whatever he has, something can be done for him.”

Stellar duel in Dallas between the Mavericks and the Lakers, and the brightest star is that of Luka Doncic. The Slovenian, a new father, had a crαzч game with 33 points, 6 rebounds and 17 assists, one of which was literally visionary for Dante Exum’s triple. Luka manages to pass the ball behind Hayes’ head and arrow the Australian with his left hand! Dante thanks and scores, having a magical evening of 26 points with 7 triples!
