Draymond Green will not be suspended for Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals after kicking Steven Adams of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the groin, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical.
"The NBA will not suspend Golden State's Draymond Green for Game 4, league sources tell @TheVertical," Wojnarowski wrote on Twitter.
Sam Amick of Sports Illustrated has confirmed that Green won't be suspended, adding that Green has been fined $25,000 and that the original Flagrant 1 call has been upgraded to a Flagrant 2. The changing of the ruling is not insignificant as another Flagrant 2 fould would mean an automatic suspension for Green.
In other words, the NBA has chosen not to suspend Green, but by changing the ruling they are sending him a stern warning to not have any more incidents in the playoffs.
The incident came in the second quarter of Game 3 as Green drove to the basket and was fouled by Stevens. After losing the ball on the way up to take a shot, Green kicked his leg forward and Adams fell to the ground in pain. It was the second time this series that Green had kicked Adams in the groin.
