Draymond Green has broken his silence on his suspension for Game 3 of the first-round playoff series against the Kings.
This is the second time Green has been suspended for an NBA playoff game, after his infamous 2016 NBA Finals Game 5 suspension for striking then-Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James during Game 4.
"By the way, being suspended from a game, like at this point in my career, will never affect me from an emotional standpoint, outside of my fellas was in a dogfight, or is in a dogfight, and just not being able to participate in that dogfight, that's crushing," Green said."Because you feel like you're leaving them out there by themselves, leaving them astray, to just figure it out. So to not participate in that dogfight, that's what bothers me the most.
"To get suspended from Game 5 of the NBA Finals, there's never another NBA game you can suspend me from that'll be like 'Oh my god, I'm suspended.' But just not being able to participate in the dogfight with my brothers, that part is worse." Without Green and Gary Payton II, who missed Game 3 with an illness, the Warriors bounced back with a 17-point win. Steph Curry led the way with 36 points, while Kevon Looney grabbed 20 rebounds and dished out nine assists."I'm very thankful of the effort that guys put out there yesterday to save our season," Green said."You don't ever want to go down 3-0. The odds are well against you, stacked against you. Crazy if you go down 3-0. And guys took care of that.
