Draymond Green has been handed a $25,000 fine for directing obscene language at a fan during the Golden State Warriors’ game against the Dallas Mavericks.
The NBA has announced that Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green has been handed a $25,000 fine for directing obscene language at a fan during the Warriors’ game against the Dallas Mavericks. The incident happened in the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ 116-113 defeat against the Dallas Mavericks at the American Airlines Center on Tuesday, earlier this week.
The Warriors continued their dire run of form away from home as they succumbed to yet another defeat on the road, this time at the hands of the Mavericks. It was Luka Doncic’s incredible triple-double that sunk the Warriors, as the Warriors lost their 11th game of the season as they currently sit an eighth place in the Western Conference as a start to their title defense.
Draymond Green has not been at his best this season after the pre season controversy that saw the Warriors’ momentum rattled going into a season where they will be looking to defend a Championship. His season got even worse when he hurled abuse at a fan in the fourth quarter at Dallas, reacting in a way the league deemed inappropriate and has now been fined $25,000.
However, this is not Green’s first time being awarded a fine in the NBA.
What is Draymond Green’s history of disciplinary action from the NBA?
Draymond Green has been no stranger to disciplinary action from the NBA.
Green is no stranger to disciplinary action from the league, and is always amongst the top recipients of technical fouls and fines each season. Prior to his latest infraction, Green had tallied $994,124 in total fines over the course of his NBA career, according to Spotrac and it is assumed that the Warriors’ star has now eclipsed the $1 million mark in total fines during his career.
Dominant at home, the team has really struggled on the road, dropping another away game to Dallas. Not only will the team head back to Golden State with another loss, but their defensive anchor Draymond Green will be $25,000 lighter in the pocket for his interaction with a fan.
