Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green didn't hold back when discussing Denver Nuggets star Jamal Murray's potential suspension.
Murray was observed throwing a heat pack onto the court during the first half, but neither players nor officials witnessed the incident, and he wasn't penalized for it.
Green later acknowledged on the latest episode of his podcast that despite speculation on social media, he doesn't believe Murray will face a suspension because the heat pack didn't directly harm anyone.
"I was just online and I see people are like, I mean I didn't think he'd get suspended, although that was very dangerous," Green said.
However, he emphasized that such actions are hazardous, particularly if a player steps on it or leaves a wet spot on the court.
"It's crazy how people just automatically start calling for suspensions these days. I just don't really understand that. But in saying that - man, Denver's down bad right now," the 34-year-old added.
Draymond Green experienced being suspended in NBA Finals
Green is no stranger to the impact of being suspended during a crucial playoff series.
The four-time NBA All-Star was suspended for the potential championship-clinching Game 5 of the 2016 NBA Finals due to accruing too many flagrant fouls during that season's playoffs.
Consequently, the Warriors lost that game and, ultimately, the entire series to the Cleveland Cavaliers in seven games, led by LeBron James.
