Warriors suspend Green for 1 game
Warriors All-Star forward Draymond Green was suspended one game without pay for conduct detrimental to the team. Green served the suspension Tuesday against the Hawks. In the closing seconds of regulation during Monday’s 121-116 OT road loss to the Clippers, Green secured a rebound and with Kevin Durant calling for the ball instead dribbled the length of the court into traffic and lost control as the Warriors failed to get a shot off. Durant was visibly upset. The two got into it afterward, according to reports.
The Nets said G Caris LeVert suffered only a dislocation of his right foot and no fractures during Monday night’s loss to the Timberwolves, and he could return this season. That’s far better than what was feared when LeVert’s leg appeared to bend in a gruesome manner after he leaped to block a shot in the final seconds of the game. LeVert left the court on a stretcher and was taken to a Minneapolis hospital. ... Pistons G Luke Kennard will continue his rehab for two more weeks. He injured his right shoulder Oct. 25.
