Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors has been suspended several times in his colorful NBA career, and the veteran forward is not worried about another possible suspension.
Green already has 14 technical fouls in the regular season, and getting a 16th technical foul would lead to a one-game suspension. While he is nearing the limit, the do-it-all forward insisted that he will not change his approach to the game, even saying that he actually has one more T to get in their last eight games of the season.

The 29-year-old forward was already suspended earlier in the season without pay because of conduct detrimental to the team. It stemmed from a well-publicized heated verbal tussle with superstar teammate Kevin Durant.




Green did not change his mindset even after the team suspension, and he actually recently earned the ire of Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. The three-time NBA champion coach was caught in a video saying that he is tired of Green's antics. While he did not name names, he pointed out that his players are complaining to the refs too much.
“We need to stop looking at the officials,” Kerr said via Dominic Fracassa of the San Francisco Chronicle after a 115-11 loss to the Phoenix Suns earlier this month. “We're complaining too much to the referees. We're expending too much energy arguing with the refs, instead of just playing.”
The former Michigan State standout is having the worst season of his career since his sophomore season in terms of production. The three-time NBA All-Star is averaging 7.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 6.9 assists in 31.3 minutes per game this season.
