MINNEAPOLIS — Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green was fined $50,000 by the NBA on Wednesday for “making an inappropriate comment that questions the integrity of game officials” during a 102-97 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 3.
Green’s fine was for a comment made after he had fouled out, referring to the point spread of 5.5 points among sportsbooks for Game 3, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania.

The trailing Warriors took two 3-pointers after that timeout, with Jonathan Kuminga hitting a 3 with 5.3 seconds remaining to make the final score 102-97.
Green has received a league-high five technical fouls this postseason and would have to serve a one-game suspension if the total reaches seven. He also has been called for two flagrant fouls.
According to Spotrac, Green has been fined $992,000 in his career, with $185,000 coming for actions toward officials. He also has been docked $3.2 million for suspensions.
