Draymond Green was ejected from Game 2 of the first round series between the Warriors and Kings with 7 minutes left to play in the fourth quarter for stepping on Domantas Sabonis.
The Lithuanian center was given a technical foul for holding Green’s leg. According to the Warriors forward, his leg was held for the second straight game but the referees ignored it.
“My leg got grabbed. Second time in two nights. Referees just watch it,” Green said postgame. “I got to land my foot somewhere and I’m not the most flexible person. So it’s not stretching that far.”
“I can only step so far and pulling my leg away. It is what it is… the explanation was I stumped too hard.”
“It was Monk last game right on the baseline under the rim,” the four-time NBA champion said. “So, either you’re gonna stop it… John Goble was looking at Monk holding my leg the last game and he just let it go. And Zach [Zarba] was clearly watching my leg this game and let it go. So I guess ankle grabbing is okay.”
