Draymond Green has found a new way of getting on the bad side of the NBA.
The Golden State Warriors star received a fine of $ 50,000 on Wednesday for making an “inappropriate comment” to officials during game 3 of a second round playoff series against Minnesota.
The NBA said Green questioned “the integrity of the game officials” in the 102-97 defeat of the Warriors against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Green seemed to refer to the game extended to the referees during the game.
“Five and a half. I know what they are doing”, Green seemed to say. Minnesota was -5.5 and covered.
Green has been evaluated by five technical offenses of the League in this postseason and would have to fulfill a suspension of a game if the total reaches seven. It has also been called by two flagrant offenses.
It was suspended by game 5 of the 2016 NBA finals for accumulating too many flagrant fouls that postsemps and was suspended by a game in the Playoffs of 2023 for stepping on the Sabonis of Sacramento Domanta chest.
According to the Spotrac website, Green has been fined $ 992,000 in his career, with $ 185,000 for shares towards officials. It has also been coupled $ 3.2 million for suspensions.
Green was suspended indefinitely last season for her mischief on the field of previous playoff games, including trampling in Sabonis. He also put Rudy Gobert in a strangulation and hit Jusuf Nurkić with an open hand, which led to the extended suspension.

Recently, Green became a tangent on how he has an “agenda” as a “angry black man.”
Green recently admitted that he was “embarrassed” he “doing prawns too much” during a game at home where the warriors lost, forcing a Game 7 In the first round of the playoffs. He said he had “some sincere” with “people I trust the most” after that game.
“It’s just a habit that has when someone is missing, and it’s intelligent,” said Chief coach Steve Kerr at that time. “Then, I think he was achieved and, within reach, Draymond slipped and took out the foul. But he has the habit of shaking his arm to try to ensure that the referee saw him, and he made contact. And that is what led to technology.
“It’s part of Draymond,” Kerr added. “It is the same thing that makes it a competitor and a winner, sometimes it puts it at the top, and we know it. And it is our work to help you stay balanced, stay composed. But the competition is so significant for him that she occasionally goes through the line.”
