NBA EVP and head of basketball operations Joe Dumars explained Green's indefinite suspension on ESPN's "First Take" last week.

To give Green time to recover mentally before returning to the team, the suspension should not be numbered.

"Indefinite means correct yourself. We want you to be your best, so get mentally and emotionally healthy "Dumars said.
