The NBA announced that it would not downgrade the flagrant-2 foul committed by Warriors forward Draymond Green in the second quarter of Sunday’s Game 1 against the Grizzlies. As a result, Green will carry two flagrant points with him moving forward in the playoffs.
However, he’s determined to not let the possibility of future punishments impact the way that he plays for the rest of the series.
“I am never going to change the way I play basketball,” Green said after practice Monday. “It’s gotten me this far. Gotten me three championships, four All-Stars, Defensive Player of the Year. I’m not going to change now.”
