Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry isn’t surprised that the NBA decided against downgrading Dubs forward Draymond Green’s flagrant-2 foul Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies down to a flagrant-1.
“Shocking,” Curry sarcastically responded when asked about it Monday, adding:
“I don’t know what the explanation was, it doesn’t really matter in terms of how we feel about it. Good thing about what we do—and hopefully what Draymond can do—is just put it behind him, continue to be himself, play his game, impact the game like he knows how to do, but it’s obviously not shocking.”
Green was assessed a flagrant-2 and subsequently ejected from the game for this foul on Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke with just over one minute remaining in the first half of the Warriors’ 117-116 win over Memphis in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Green posted six points, four rebounds, three assists and three steals in 17 minutes before exiting.
