Green was suspended for stomping on the chest of Sacramento Kings All-Star center Domantas Sabonis during the fourth quarter of Game 2 on Monday.

"I never knew you could be suspended for a Flagrant 2 that happened seven years ago," Green said on suspension. "And I also didn't know you could get suspended for interacting with a crowd that's flipping you double birds and yelling your name and chants that you suck, and like, you interact with them. I didn't know that either.

"In saying that, my guys played well. My guys played really well. Stepped up to the challenge and it was absolutely incredible to see. I hope everyone enjoyed the game in the way I... I can't say I really enjoyed the game, quite frankly."

After Green stomped on Sabonis' chest, he engaged with the crowd at Golden 1 Center while the referees reviewed the incident.

Green was eventually ejected from the game, while Sabonis received a technical foul for grabbing Green's leg before the stomp.

This was the second time in Green's career that he had been suspended for an NBA playoff game.

"By the way, being suspended from a game, like at this point in my career, will never affect me from an emotional standpoint, outside of my fellas was in a dogfight, or is in a dogfight, and just not being able to participate in that dogfight, that's crushing," Green underlined.

"Because you feel like you're leaving them out there by themselves, leaving them astray, to just figure it out. So to not participate in that dogfight, that's what bothers me the most."

Draymond Green will rejoin the Warriors lineup for Game 4 at Chase Center on Sunday.
