SAN FRANCISCO: Golden State forward Draymond Green has been suspended for one game without pay for stepping on the chest of Sacramento's Domantas Sabonis and will miss Game 3 of the Warriors' first-round playoff series Thursday (Friday in Manila).
The NBA made the announcement late Tuesday, two days before the series shifts to the defending champions' home court at Chase Center. The NBA made the announcement of a decision by executive vice president and head of basketball operations Joe Dumars.'The suspension was based in part on Green's history of unsportsmanlike acts,' the release said.
'Second time in two nights. Referees just watch it. I have to land my foot somewhere. I'm not the most flexible person, so it's not stretching that far.'The Kings said Sabonis underwent tests that determined he had a bruised sternum and is questionable for Game 3.Credited as the Warriors' emotional leader, Green has long walked a fine line of pushing the limits with officials — and has even expressed he now feels they're out to get him.
