Warriors' Green ejected from Game 2 after kicking Kings' Sabonis
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was ejected from a playoff game after stomping on the chest of Sacramento Kings forward Domantas Sabonis.
The play happened in the fourth quarter of Game 2 of the first-round playoff series on Monday night after Stephen Curry grabbed a defensive rebound. The Kings won, 114-106, to take a 2-0 series lead.
As Curry turned to head up the floor, Sabonis slipped and fell in the paint. While down, in an effort to perhaps break free and run down the court, Green's right foot landed squarely on Sabonis' chest. Sabonis stayed down for a few minutes as the officials reviewed the play.
