This is going to make for one heck of a Game 4.
Following his kick to Steven Adams‘ groin, the second Green’s leg/Adams’ groin incident of the Western Conference Finals, Draymond Green will not be suspended for tomorrow night’s Game 4.
The NBA will not suspend Golden State’s Draymond Green for Game 4, league sources tell @TheVertical.

During an early part of last night’s blowout loss, Draymond Green was fouled by Steven Adams during an erratic shot attempt. During a set of movements that Green described as ‘selling the call,’ Green’s right leg uppercut Adams’ groin, resulting in the Thunder center sinking to the floor in sheer pain.
Players and sports media weighed in on the incident immediately after the game, including Draymond trading interview jabs with Russell Westbrook, who told reporters on-record that he believes Green’s groin kick was intentional.
Neither team has lost consecutive games in this series, and if the Warriors are to avenge their blowout Game 3 loss, they will certainly need Green on the court. Luckily for them, that will be the case tomorrow night.
