#TSRSports: Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green Suspended One Game Without Pay For Argument With Teammate Kevin Durant

<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">&num;GoldenStateWarriors power forward &num;DraymondGreen is no stranger to controversy&comma; especially when it involves fighting on the court&period; If there’s a melee on the court&comma; there’s a chance Draymond might be involved&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">Green is known to ride for his&comma; but last night’s game took an unexpected turn when he got into it with his own teammate&comma; &num;KevinDurant&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">The argument&comma; which started on the Warriors’ bench and carried over to their locker room at the &num;StaplesCenter following their 121-116 loss to the &num;LosAngelesClippers in overtime&comma; was allegedly about Draymond’s decision-making on the final play of regulation&comma; according to &commat;<a href&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;espn&period;com&sol;nba&sol;story&sol;&lowbar;&sol;id&sol;25269250&sol;draymond-green-golden-state-warriors-suspended-dust-up">ESPN<&sol;a>&period; Draymond’s suspension for tonight’s game against Atlanta will cost him &dollar;120&comma;480&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">The suspension comes at the risk of further impacting the Warriors as Draymond has been a dominant voice during the team’s three championships in four years&period; Witnesses to the locker-room scene called it one of the most volatile episodes of the Warriors’ dynastic run&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">The higher ups were unwilling to dismiss the fight as an ordinary NBA dust-up&comma; and ultimately decided that Draymond’s words&comma; especially toward Durant&comma; rose to the level of significant discipline&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">Warrior general manager Bob Myers was set to explain the team’s thinking on the suspension at a pregame briefing tonight in Oakland&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">One of the questions already being asked about Draymond’s suspension centered on KD’s looming free agency and how choosing to punish Draymond could escalate tensions between the star players&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">Draymond can be a free agent in 2020&comma; but KDt’s sensitivity is well-documented&comma; and it is clear that he was unhappy with how things played out following Monday night’s game&period; KD reportedly showered quickly following the fight and exited the locker room immediately&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">Sources say Draymond was forceful in his defense of himself&comma; which caused the argument to get loud&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">The play in question that KD upset was when Green gathered a defensive rebound the final moments of a tie game and dribbled the ball up the court before losing control without taking a shot&period; KD had been slapping his hands&comma; calling for the ball&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">Whew chile&excl; I hope the team is able to keep the peace moving forward&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon;
