Golden State Warriors management thought Draymond Green calling Kevin Durant a "b----" multiple times during their argument on Monday night was too cruel to be ignored and led to his suspension for Tuesday's game, Marcus Thompson of The Athletic reports.
According to The Athletic, Green was surprised by the one-game suspension. He was only expecting a fine for his behavior during and after Monday's overtime loss to the Clippers because he thought this exchange on the sideline and in the locker room was not as problematic as his infamous February 2016 locker-room blowup at coach Steve Kerr during a road game in Oklahoma City.
