Draymond Green returned to star in a controversial moment in the NBA playoffs. It is that the wayward player of the Warriors was ejected in Game 2 of the first round series against the Kings for stepping on the chest of center Domantas Sabonis, with seven minutes to go until the end of the fourth quarter.
Faced with such an impasse, the NBA decided to act against the Golden State intern, suspending him for the third challenge of the key against Sacramento, to be held at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

In fact, Draymond Green argued at a press conference after the Warriors fell behind 0-2, that he was the victim of a foul play by members of the Kings, who “grabbed his leg” before he fell into the humanity of the Lithuanian Sabonis, who at the same time went to the hospital to have his chest and ribs checked after the controversial impact.
In this way, the current league champions will seek to return to life in the current NBA playoffs without their best defender; a Green that has been an indispensable piece in the dynasty established by said franchise during the last decade.
It will certainly be interesting to see if the Warriors can turn around the hostile NBA playoff series against the Kings without Draymond Green for at least one game.
