The Golden State Warriors have only played 46 games. Draymond Green has only played in 33 of those games.
And yet the Warriors three-time All-Star has already picked up 12 technical fouls. That’s more than one every three games, which is quite impressive. More importantly, it’s 75% of the way to the limit for the season.
Green - and all NBA players - are allowed 16 technical fouls per season. After the 16th, each subsequent tech is accompanied by a one-game suspension. For Green, who is in the final year of a five-year, $82 million contract (his four-year extension begins next year), a single-game suspension costs him roughly $226,000.
