Draymond Green asked for X-ray on ankle as he defends stamping on NBA rival

Draymond Green defended his stamp on a Sacramento Kings player during the NBA Playoffs.

During the fourth quarter of the second game of the Golden State Warriors ' first round matchup, with the Sacramento Kings winning 97-81, there was a collision between Green and Domantas Sabonis, sending the latter to the ground. The four-time NBA Champion then seemed to stomp on the chest of the Kings player after he wrapped his arms around the Warriors star’s leg. As a result, the 33-year-old was given a flagrant foul and automatically ejected, with Sabonis called for a technical foul.

In typical Green fashion fashion, he riled up the crowd as boos and jeers rained down from the stands moments before he was ordered to leave the game. ESPN reporter Marc J Spears claimed the power forward asked for an X-ray on his right ankle after the game. He added that Green believes the injury came when Sabonis grabbed his ankle before the stomp.
