Warriors suspend Green for one game after confrontation with teammate Durant

• Pair argued during loss to Clippers earlier in the week
• Durant will become a free-agent in summer of 2019

The Golden State Warriors suspended Draymond Green for Tuesday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks without pay for conduct detrimental to the team following an altercation on Monday night with teammate Kevin Durant. General manager Bob Myers declined to offer specifics why the All-Star forward’s behavior was considered worthy of a suspension. Myers and Warriors coach Steve Kerr collaborated on the decision.

“We just felt like this rose to the level of acting the way we did,” Myers said, noting of Green: “He was professional. He loves to play basketball, which is all you can ask of him.”
