Kurtenbach: Draymond Green deserved his ejection, but a Game 3 suspension would be overkill

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:30:08 GMT

Draymond Green is a perpetual line-stepper.His teammates and Dub Nation often love him for it.His opponents and their fans absolutely despise him for it.Oftentimes, his antics provoke opposing players into outsize reactions or poor play, but on Monday night in Sacramento, he was the one reacting — and he paid the price.After falling down on a fourth-quarter box-out, Kings center Domantas Sabonis saw Green’s planted foot, which was near his chest, and latched onto it.
