After being ejected in the fourth quarter of Monday night’s game, Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green has been suspended for one game. The NBA announced the punishment on Tuesday, saying in a statement, “The suspension was based in part on Green’s history of unsportsmanlike acts.”
The suspension is in response to an incident between Green and the Sacramento Kings’ Domantas Sabonis, which ended with the Warriors star stepping on the Kings forward’s chest.
