As a Draymond Green fan and apologist, it brings me no pleasure to say this: Green was unequivocally wrong for his stomp, jump and eventual flagrant two foul at the expense of Domantas Sabonis in the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ Game 2 loss to the Kings on Monday. It may have cost Golden State the game. And it’s possible that foul alone could have serious ramifications for the rest of the series, which the Dubs currently trail 0–2.
The play in question was bizarre. After a missed shot by Sacramento, Sabonis crashed to the ground after fighting for an offensive rebound.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was ejected in the fourth quarter Monday night, after stomping on the chest of Sacramento Kings forward Domantas Sabonis during a 114-106 loss that put the defending NBA champions in a 2-0 hole.
Doc Rivers wasn’t a fan of his team’s play in the first half Monday night — “I thought we wasted the whole first half. Literally just running random [stuff], not trusting our sets — but commended it for “unbelievable” execution after the break.
Draymond Green is a madman.
During Monday night’s matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings, Draymond treated the court like an Octagon as he stomped on Domantas Sabonis’ chest while the Kings big man was down on the ground.
At first, Sabonis reached for Green’s leg, but once Draymond hovered it over Sabonis, he deliberately stomped it down.
Typically Dirty Draymond Green Pulls Cheap Move In Loss
Sabonis was in clear pain from Draymond’s cheap shot. Referees called it a Technical 2 and ejected Draymond in the fourth quarter.
Minnesota’s Matt Dumba dirty hit in Game 1 on Stars’ Joe Pavelski requires old school hockey justice.
The first-round pairing between the Kings and Warriors was always tabbed to be the most hotly contested: the two Bay Area fan bases don’t like each other, and the Kings are in the postseason for the first time since 2006, setting up a matchup between the afterthought franchise and the defending champions. Unsurprisingly, the tension has been high since Saturday’s series opener—and spilled over onto the court late in Monday’s Game 2.
Draymond Green found himself in another controversy in the NBA Playoffs — and this time he got ejected.
The No. 3 seed Sacramento Kings vs. the No. 6 seed Golden State Warriors has quickly become the moxg entertaining series of the first round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs. The Kings took Game 1 at home, which set up a pressure-packed Game 2 for Golden State on Monday night.
The Kings beat the Warriors, 114-106, to go up 2-0 with the series headed back to Golden State.
Game 2 between Sacramento and Golden State had a little bit of everything, including a Draymond Green ejection and another lighting of the beam.
Remember New Orleans Saints wideout Michael Thomas? If you don’t it’s because he’s spent more time off the field than on it for the past three years, rehabbing from foot injury after foot injury.
Well, it’s time to get reacquainted because the three-time Pro Bowler and online troll is plotting a comeback for the ages, it appears.
Giving an update on his physical status nearly six months since undergoing toe surgery, Thomas posted a video from his leg-day session Monday.
Thomas’ strength was on display as he deadlifted 530 lbs.
Jacob DeGrom is injured again. The Texas Rangers ace was removed from Monday night’s MLB game against the Royals with “right wrist soreness.”
That is what the team is calling it for now. No further information is known at this time.

DeGrom was pitching a gem at the time of his exit. Four no innings of shutout ball.
Not long thereafter, the news broke that he had left the start.
