Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green revealed who he blamed for his expulsion in a game against the Memphis Grizzlies, valid for the NBA playoffs
Draymond Greenof Golden State Warriors, opened the game regarding his expulsion in a playoff match in the 2021/2022 NBA. The case took place in confrontation with the Memphis Grizzliesin Game 1 of the semifinals in the Western Conference, which ended with the victory of the Californian team by the score of 117 to 116.
“It was a very interesting foul and decision, in short. They said I got kicked out because I played Brandon Clarke in floor. But really, she was trying to hold him back. So much so that it hits the floor and I’m still holding the shirt. However, I already expect things like this. The decision was made, above all, for the sake of reputation.”said the player.
CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC:
The center forward is known in the league for hard and even “aggressive” markings. Although he received a flagrant foul in an official manner, the move was widely discussed among the responsible judges. “Draymond first made significant contact with Brandon’s face. Then he grabbed him by the shirt and threw it on the floor. The athlete was in the air and thus vulnerable.”highlighted the head of arbitration Kane Fitzgerald.
Target in question, Clarke said he didn’t find Green’s action surprising. “Draymond is known for committing flagrant fouls throughout his career. I watched a lot of his games on television so I wasn’t really shocked by what happened”he said. “I’m not a player who falls on the court, but he hit me really hard twice. I wasn’t surprised because it’s something he’s done in the past.”.
Green stressed that he feels wronged by the decision, but that, like Brandon, he already expected the attitude determined by the arbitration. “I have already been suspended from a fifth game of the NBA Finals. So, do you guys think you’d miss the chance to take me out of a first West semifinal match? The decision, therefore, did not surprise me at all.”he concluded.
