Draymond Green has been suspended for Monday’s Game 5 of the NBA Finals after the league assessed the Warriors’ power forward for a flagrant-1 foul Sunday morning.
Green has accumulated four flagrant-foul points during the postseason, resulting in an automatic one-game suspension.
“The cumulative points system is designed to deter flagrant fouls in our game,” NBA executive vice president of basketball operations Kiki Vandeweghe said. “While Draymond Green’s actions in (Saturday’s) Game 4 do not merit suspension as a standalone act, the number of flagrant points he has earned triggers a suspension for Game 5.
