NBA executive vice president Joe Dumars discussed the league's decision to suspend Draymond Green for stomping on Sacramento Kings forward Domantas Sabonis, saying the Golden State Warriors forward's status as a "repeat offender" played into the decision-making.
"Here's what it came down to: Excessive and over-the-top actions, conduct detrimental and a repeat offender. That's what separates this where you end up with a suspension," Dumars told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Wednesday.
Green will miss the Warriors' Game 3 matchup against Sacramento on Thursday as a result of the suspension. Golden State currently trails Sacramento 2-0 in the best-of-seven series.
