NBA commissioner Adam Silver said that while Draymond Green's kick in the groin of Oklahoma City's Steven Adams in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals was reckless, the league determined it was unintentional.
"I acknowledge that that was a close decision on upgrading Draymond's kick to a Flagrant 2, but not suspending him for (Game 4)," Silver told ESPN Radio on Sunday. "I will say that we do full investigations around those plays the next day. We interview the officials. We interview the players who are involved, and ultimately we made a decision that he did not intentionally try to kick him in the groin, but it was a reckless act, and it was upgraded to a Flagrant 2.
