I not gonna condone Green’s actions, but the NBA just got played by an actor. The Warriors have to be incandescent pissed off. Sabonis grabbed Green’s ankle to stop a fast break with the Warriors storming back in the 4th quarter, and then acted like a soccer player feigning injury to draw a foul, trying to make it look worse than it was.
The replay made clear Green didn’t put all his weight on Sabonis (most weight on leg not on chest) and that it was a pro wrestling stomp, like Green purposely didn’t put all his weight on him. He was kicked out of game and Warriors lost. That was the punishment. A further suspension makes it punitive and is rewarding Sabonis for being a bitch trying to steal momentum from opponent in a very non-basketball act, baiting Green into doing something like he did.
Absurd.
