Jusuf Nurkić got the last laugh in his rivalry with Draymond Green this season.

The Phoenix Suns center trolled Green after the Golden State Warriors' Play-In Tournament loss to the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday:

Nurkić and Green have been going back and forth all season since the Warriors forward hit Nurkić in the face during a Dec. 12 game. Green was suspended indefinitely following the incident, ultimately serving 12 games.

The duo had another tense faceoff in a Feb. 10 game, with Nurkić criticizing Green's actions after the game.

"It's sad. He didn't learn anything," Nurkić told reporters after that game. "Just a matter of time. He's going to hit somebody else again. Take back everything I said. He don't deserve a chance."

Green fired back on his podcast, saying Nurkić was "in his feelings."

"I don't know, I thought it was really whack to go questioning my character because I destroyed you on the basketball court," Green said. "But, quite frankly I'm a four-time All-Star, four-time champion, I should be destroying you on the basketball court."

The Suns locked up the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference and will play the Minnesota Timberwolves in Round 1. Don't be surprised if Green fires back when and if the Suns are eliminated from the playoffs.
