NBA won’t mitigate Draymond Green’s flagrant foul

Draymond Green may not understand his expulsion following his flagrant Type II foul, the NBA agrees with its referees since it has just announced that it will not reconsider the sanction.

Recall that the officials had explained their decision by the fact that ” on the first part of the action there is significant contact to the face, then after that he grabs the shirt and throws the player to the ground. It is unnecessary and excessive. »

Unnecessary and excessive, this is the definition of a flagrant foul of type II, a flagrant foul of type I (less serious) being it only judged as an unnecessary contact.

Why is this NBA decision bad news for Draymond Green? Simply because a type II flagrant foul is worth two points on the NBA grid, while a type I flagrant foul is worth one point. However, in the playoffs, accumulating four points in this system is equivalent to a one-game suspension. Draymond Green knows something about it since he missed a Finals match in 2016 for this reason…

Note also that reaching six points results in a two-game suspension.
