NBA players react to Draymond Green's 'crazy' suspension for Warriors-Kings Game 3

Late on Tuesday night, the NBA announced it has decided to suspend Warriors forward Draymond Green for Game 3 after stomping on Kings center Domantas Sabonis' chest in a tie-up during Game 2.

The one-game suspension is a major blow for a Warriors squad looking to make its first 2-0 comeback of the dynasty era. This isn't the first time they've had to play in a high-stakes playoff game without Green due to suspension, but instant reactions to the news suggest current and former players disagree with the NBA's ruling.

Can’t believe the NBA’s decision to suspend Draymond Especially after ejecting him from the game. Rewarding foul play by Sabonis
