NBA Twitter typically has at least one major performance from a star or sequence in a big game that has basketball fans losing their marbles. Draymond Green provided that viral moment after he tossed a ball that appeared to strike Russell Westbrook in the head during the Golden State Warriors-Los Angeles Clippers game Wednesday night.

As it's the 16th technical of the season, Green will be suspended for one game and will not suit up when the Golden State Warriors take on the Atlanta Hawks on Friday.

NBA fans quickly jumped to Twitter to express their opinions on the situation.

Green has been in the news a lot in the past week after he and Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks got in each other's faces during a game on March 9. The two continued to trade jabs while speaking with the media following the exchange.

To add even more intrigue to the Green v Brooks rivalry, the Warriors and Grizzlies will matchup again on Saturday in Memphis.

Furthermore, if the regular season ended today, the two teams would play one another in the first round of the playoffs. With just over three weeks left in the regular season, there is a real chance we see the latest NBA rivals clash on the sports biggest stage.
