Draymond Green flailed and hit Timberwolves center Naz Reid on the neck with 8:46 remaining in the second quarter of Game 2 on Thursday. The referees immediately reviewed the play and called a technical foul on Green, his fifth in the postseason. With Steph Curry out for at least a week, the Warriors are in danger of missing their defensive ace due to the accumulation of technical fouls.
Dave McMenamin reported on the implications of Green’s latest technical foul:
“Draymond Green will be suspended for a game if he picks up two more technical fouls or two more flagrant foul points in these playoffs.”
