Draymond Green's altercation with Kevin Durant continues to make headlines, but now it's making a dent in his bank account. His suspension will cost him $120,480 in salary due to the Warriors' decision to suspend him according to Bobby Marks of ESPN. Marks also points out that the Warriors won't receive a luxury tax credit for the suspension.

The game check that Green is missing out on may not seem like a lot of money when you consider how much money he'll make, but it's not something we can dismiss. Money is money and it can cause a rift in any relationship. Of course, the money Draymond is missing out on is secondary to the initial tension that led to the altercation, but it adds another element to the story.
