We have more fallout from the Draymond Green-Kevin Durant Warriors drama.
At the end of regulation of last night’s Clippers-Warriors game Green decided to run up the court with the ball in the final seconds of a tie game instead of passing it to Durant who was asking for the ball.

During the argument, Green reportedly called Durant “a bitch” according to a report from Yahoo’s Chris B. Haynes.
Via Yahoo Sports
Late in regulation of the Warriors’ overtime loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, Green collected a rebound and ignored Durant’s call for the ball, instead dribbling upcourt into traffic and turning over the ball, which led to an argument with Durant that eventually spilled into the locker room after the game.
Green repeatedly called Durant “a bitch” after he was called out by the two-time NBA Finals MVP in the huddle for not passing him the ball, sources said. The organization is of the belief that Green cut too deep in his disagreement with Durant, sources said.
Klay Thompson, who is typically reserved, spoke up in the locker room to the surprise of his teammates about the altercation and stressed the importance of sticking together, sources said.
Here’s the video where it appears that Draymond called Durant a bitch while talking to Boogie Cousins.
Interesting sequence here after Draymond’s play at the end of regulation:
-Draymond leaves leaves the huddle with DeMarcus telling him to “lock in”
-Durant is pissed saying, “come on man… I’m trying to win a basketball game” with Iguodala talking him down. pic.twitter.com/iqLuxI6SdJ

Apparently the Warriors saw the video and have suspended Draymond for one game.
After the Golden State Warriors reviewed comments made in heated moments last night, Green is expected to sit tonight against the Atlanta Hawks to cool off. https://t.co/SadxTuy0ep

Draymond Green will be suspended without pay tonight, sources tell ESPN.

The Draymond Green one game team suspension will cost the forward $120,480. This is a team issued suspension and the Warriors will not receive a luxury tax credit.
