Draymond Green is certain this is far from his last suspension and he had some strong words for the NBA trying to make him an example of suspensions based on past behavior.
The Golden State forward is set to return for the Warriors in Sunday's Game 4 against the Sacramento Kings with his team trailing 2-1 in the best-of-seven series after serving a one-game suspension during the defending champions' 114-97 Game 3 victory Thursday night.
In the fourth quarter of the Kings' 114-106 Game 2 win Monday night, Green stepped on the chest of Sacramento center Domantas Sabonis after Stephen Curry grabbed a defensive rebound. Sabonis was called for a technical foul for grabbing Green's leg, and Green was given a flagrant 2 foul that led to an automatic ejection.
While explaining the discipline, announced by executive vice president and head of basketball operations Joe Dumars, the NBA noted"the suspension was based in part on Green's history of unsportsmanlike acts."
