BREAKING: NBA Officially Suspends Draymond Green vs. Atlanta Hawks

The NBA has released a statement announcing the suspension of Draymond Green for Friday's contest between the Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks:

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has been suspended one game without pay for receiving his 16th technical foul of the 2022-23 season, it was announced today by Joe Dumars, Executive Vice President, Head of Basketball Operations. Under NBA rules, a player or coach is automatically suspended without pay for one game once he receives his 16th technical foul during a regular season. For every two additional technical fouls received during that regular season, the player or coach will be automatically suspended without pay for an additional game. Green received his most recent technical foul with 0:40 remaining in the second quarter of the Warriors' 134-126 loss to the LA Clippers on Mar. 16 at Crypto.com Arena. Green will serve his suspension Mar. 17 when the Warriors visit the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena.

Green received his 16th technical foul of the season in last night's game against the LA Clippers, and expressed a level of confidence after the game that it would be rescinded. The NBA just announced that it will not be rescinded, and Green will be forced to miss Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.

The Golden State Warriors have lost nine-straight road games, and will be without their defensive anchor as they look to snap their skid away from Chase Center.
