Draymond Green is nearing an automatic suspension after being called for his latest technical foul.
Green and Tristan Thompson were called for double-technicals midway through the first quarter of Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors on Wednesday. The two had been jawing for a while, so the refs decided to do something about it.
Not only did the double techs put each player one tech away from an automatic ejection from the game, but they also moved Green closer to a suspension.
That was Green’s fifth technical foul of the playoffs. A player receives a one-game suspension if they amass seven techs during the playoffs.
Green was also called for a foul a minute later and was furious about it, though he did not confront an official. And to think: Steve Kerr actually said this about Draymond earlier in the postseason.
