Draymond Green defends stomping Domantas Sabonis as a “solid defensive play”

Draymond Green defends stomping Domantas Sabonis

Draymond Green has established himself as the heart and soul of the Golden State Warriors. However, fans think he is leaving to join the Los Angeles Lakers. After spending his entire career with the Warriors, it’s hard to imagine Draymond leaving. But the situation with Jordan Poole, during training camp, had an impact on this season. Instead of another 50 to 60 win season, the Warriors are 44-38. In addition, they face going down 0-3 to the Sacramento Kings. If that happens, Draymond stomping Domantas Sabonis will be what fans blame it on.

Draymond Green made a career out of making controversial plays. Last year, he did something similar to Aaron Gordon. Infamously, Draymond made a play against LeBron James in the 2016 NBA Finals. This led to Green being suspended. Indirectly, this may have led to LeBron’s Cavaliers upsetting the 73-9 Golden State Warriors to win the title. After that, the Warriors transformed into a dynasty. Last year’s championship solidified this.

Draymond Green and Jordan Poole got into a skirmish in the 2022 training camp. Many have blamed the Warriors’ issues, this season, on that. Throughout the season, people predicted Golden State getting back on track. However, it never happened. As a result, they’re the sixth seed in the playoffs. In Game 2, vs. the Sacramento Kings, Draymond Green ended up stomping Domantas Sabonis’ arm. After that, he got ejected. Following much backlash, he defended it, calling it a “solid defensive play.”
