Draymond Green gets five-game suspension

Kurt Helin @basketballtalk
NBA suspends Warriors’ Draymond Green for 5 games
The league said Green was suspended for “escalating an on-court altercation and forcibly grabbing Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert around the neck in an unsportsmanlike and dangerous manner.”

These next five games without Draymond Green seem like an ideal time for the Warriors to try to jumpstart Jonathan Kuminga’s season. He’s only averaging 19.5 minutes this month.

Thompson, McDaniels y Gobert pagarán multas de $25,000 machacantes cada uno, pero no serán suspendidos.
Según Joe Dumars, la suspensión por cinco partidos de Draymond Green “se basa en parte por su historial de actos antideportivos”. pic.twitter.com/bLu4NIUZZR – 8:46 PM

Algunos de los mejores ‘hits’ de Draymond Green. Quedaron varios fuera.
Esto es la definición del término ‘reincidente’ que Joe Dumars usó cuando lo sancionó en los pasados playoffs al pisar al caído Domantas Sabonis por gusto.
Esto no es ‘fogosidad’.
