Overview

  • Draymond Green received a dead-ball technical foul in Game 2 against the Timberwolves after elbowing Naz Reid, bringing his playoff total to five technical fouls and two flagrant points.
  • Under NBA rules, Green will face an automatic one-game suspension if he accumulates two more flagrant points or three more technical fouls during the postseason.
  • Head coach Steve Kerr immediately substituted Green out of the game to prevent further escalation and potential ejection following his heated reaction to the technical foul call.
  • Stephen Curry remains sidelined with a hamstring strain, leaving the Warriors without their star player as they navigate the Western Conference semifinals.
  • Green's history of on-court altercations and the heightened scrutiny from analysts and officials place additional pressure on the Warriors to manage his conduct moving forward.
