The Golden State Warriors suspended Draymond Green for Tuesday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks without pay after his altercation with NBA all-star Kevin Durant.
Draymond Green started arguing with Durant during the Golden State Warriors’ loss on Monday to the Los Angeles Clippers and the altercation reportedly continued into the locker room.
ESPN’s Zach Lowe reported that some members of the Warriors organization were of a belief that Green “went too far” on Monday, while other “are still shrugging this off.” According to Sam Amick of the Athletic, Kerr made the decision to suspend Green for Tuesday’s game.
