Green's arm aimed toward LeBron James groin area in Game 4 was upgraded to a flagrant foul after the fact Sunday. Which caused a one-game suspension based on the amount of flagrant foul points he has had in the 2016 postseason. The warriors won't miss him but they'll miss the average 14 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.3 blocks in the series he's had. Green's teammates stood by his said, saying James instigated it when he stepped over Green on the court.
After the game, "James said that he didn't expect the league to issue Green a suspension", but after further review, the league determined that Green's actions warranted a flagrant one. James also said Green crossed the line with some of the trash talk he hurled toward the Cavaliers star, and said he felt Green's swipe at his groin was "a little outside of basketball."
"He's not happy, no," Curry said. "But anybody in that situation, you can't expect them to be OK with the decision. I know he's going to give us positive energy. He's going to support us as a team the best way he can, even though he's not going to be on the floor, and we have to go out and get a win for him."
