Daymond Green has found a new way to get on the bad side of the NBA.
The Golden State Warriors star was fined $ 50,000 to make an “inappropriate comment” to the officials under Game 3 in another round playoff series against Minnesota.
NBA said Green questioned the “integrity of game officials” in Warriors’ 102-97 loss to Minnesota Timberwolves.

Green seemed to refer to the game’s point spread to the judges during the game.
“Five and a half. I know what they’re doing,” Green seemed to say. Minnesota was -5.5 and covered.
Green has been rated a league-high five technical errors, this mail season and would have to earn a one-game pension if the total reaches seven. He has also been called on two obvious errors.
He was suspended for Game 5 in the 2016 NBA final to accumulate too many flags of violations that were falling and suspended for a game in the 2023 end game to step on the chest of Sacramento’s Domantas Sabonis.
According to the SPOTRAC site, Green has been fined $ 992,000 in his career, with $ 185,000 coming to action against officials. He has also been anchored $ 3.2 million for suspension.
Green was suspended indefinitely last season for his antiquity on the field from prior playoffs, including stamping on Sabonis. He also put Rudy Gobert in a choke team and hit Jusuf Nurkić with an open hand, which led to the extended suspension.

Green recently went on a tongs about how he has a “agenda” as an “angry black man.”
Green recently admitted that he was “embarrassed” he “put too much” during a game at home where Warriors lost, and forced a Play 7 In the first round of the playoffs. He said he had “some heart-to-heart” with “people I trust most” after that game.
“It’s just a habit he has when someone takes over him and he’s smart,” said head coach Steve Kerr at the time. “So I think it was reached Reid, and in reach, draymond kind of swallowed through and pulled the mistake. But he has a habit of kind of flailing his arm to try to make sure the judge sees it and he got in touch. And that’s what led to the technique.
“That’s part of Daymond,” Kerr. “It’s the same thing that makes him such a competitor and a winner sometimes puts him over the top and we know it. And it’s our job to try to help him stay clear, stay composed. But the competition is so meaningful to him that he occasionally crosses the line.”
