After the Warriors’ win to put them up 3-1, NBA commissioner Adam Silver issued a Flagrant 1 foul on Green that equaled a suspension along with Flagrant 2 issued following an incident with Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams in the Western Conference Finals.
Sabonis deflected blame and said he was protecting himself when asked about holding onto Green’s foot and potentially provoking the altercation.
