Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green has been handed a one-game suspension for stamping on Domantas Sabonis during their 114-106 loss to Sacramento Kings, and NBA vice president Joe Dumars has explained why.
During the fourth quarter of the second Play-Off clash between the Warriors and the Kings, Green stepped on Sabonis after the pair clashed, and was ejected from the game. The Warriors are now 0-2 for the first-round series, and Green will be out for what could be a pivotal third match.
Sabonis lost his footing and grabbed Green's right leg as he fell to the ground, which triggered an angry reaction from the Warriors star. Green was ejected after leaving Sabonis on the deck for several minutes, and Dumars has come down hard on the "repeat offender".
