Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green has once again made headlines for his on-court behavior. During Monday night’s Game 2 against the Sacramento Kings, Green appeared to stomp on the chest of Kings’ forward Domantas Sabonis, which resulted in his ejection from the game (Fox News).
This isn’t the first time Green has been in hot water for his actions on the court. In fact, many are now calling for him to be suspended for Game 3 of the NBA playoffs as a result of this latest incident (USA Today).
Despite the backlash, Green has defended himself, saying that his leg was grabbed and he had to land his foot somewhere (Sky Sports). However, many fans and analysts have criticized his excuse and called out his behavior (Sports Illustrated).
This isn’t the only news surrounding Green right now. Some are wondering if the Lakers would consider signing him in free agency this summer (Sports Illustrated). Additionally, other NBA figures such as Damian Lillard and Shaquille O’Neal have come to Green’s defense following the controversial moment on the court (CBS Sports).
It remains to be seen what the consequences of Green’s actions will be and how they will impact the rest of the NBA playoffs.
