Warriors’ Green could miss potential Game 7 against Raptors, technically speaking
OAKLAND, CALIF.—The always volatile Draymond Green has to be on his best behaviour in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
If the Golden State Warriors forward is hit with a technical foul in Thursday’s game against the Raptors, it will earn him an automatic one-game suspension and cost him a chance to play in Game 7 in Toronto on Sunday, if it is necessary.
Green got his sixth technical foul of the playoffs by vehemently protesting a foul call in Game 5. League rules stipulate a one-game suspension follows a seventh technical.
“I’m very aware,” Green said Wednesday. “It’s not that tough (to avoid a technical). Just play the game.”
