The NBA has already fined and suspended Draymond Green. Green received a $25,000 punishment earlier this season for arguing with a supporter during a game against the Dallas Mavericks. Throughout his career, he has received fines numerous times for complaining about the officials. Green has accrued more than $1 million in fines throughout the course of his NBA career. During Game 5 of the 2016 NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers, he was infamously suspended. The accumulation of flagrant fouls by Green led to the suspension. And now it’s probable that he may soon be subject to another suspension.
Draymond Green has racked up 12 technical fouls on the season and the NBA triggers an automatic suspension at 16. His 12th technical came Wednesday during a loss against the Detroit Pistons when he was involved in a late game shoving match with Isaiah Stewart. With 43 games left in the regular season, it’s tough to a imagine a scenario where Green doesn’t pick up his final two technical fouls. But it’s a scenario he fully accepts as per Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports.
“I’m gonna get suspended for a game anyway because of what’s happened in the past with referees,” Green said. “So you stop talking to them and you still get techs. So I’m gonna get suspended anyways, it is what it is. There’s not anything that I can do about it.”
Green has never been one to mince words or refrain from expressing his thoughts even if it has gotten him into trouble with the NBA.
