Whether it\u2019s hitting LeBron James below the belt back in the 2016 NBA Finals or punching his own teammate in practice, Green isn\u2019t afraid to mix it up on the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Round 1 of the 2023 NBA playoffs, Green once again took it too far. Late in the fourth quarter, Kings forward Domantas Sabonis got knocked to the ground and grabbed Green\u2019s foot while he was on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Green shook free but then stomped on Sabonis\u2019 chest and pushed off the downed player to jump over him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Draymond Green just KICKED Sabonis after the two got tangled up \ud83d\udc40<br><br>Should he have been ejected for this play?<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7ySKCbteIj\">pic.twitter.com\/7ySKCbteIj<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Ballislife Bets (@BallislifeBets) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BallislifeBets\/status\/1648180466951000065?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 18, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, the referees gave Draymond a technical for the play. However, upon review, the officials decided to give Sabonis a technical for the leg grab while Green got a flagrant-2 foul, which comes with an automatic ejection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the review, Green made things worse by jawing with Kings fans behind the Warriors\u2019 bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ejection hurt the Warriors but may not have changed the outcome of the game.
