MINNEAPOLIS – Warriors forward Draymond Green will have to pay a hefty fine for gambling-related comments made during Game 3 of the team’s second-round series with the Timberwolves.
The NBA announced it is fining Green $50,000 after he was seen telling teammates during a television broadcast that the point spread during the Wolves’ 102-97 victory was 5.5.
Green, 35, fouled out of that game in the fourth quarter, and has a league-high five technical fouls and two flagrant fouls during the postseason.
In a press release sent out by the league, the NBA said Green’s comment “questions the integrity of the game officials.”
According to the website Spotrac, Green has been fined 229 times for a total of $992,000 since entering the league in 2012.
The Warriors are down 3-1 in their series with the Timberwolves, and will play Game 5 on Tuesday night.
The NBA banned former Raptors forward Jontay Porter for being involved in gambling on NBA games, including ones he played in, and Heat guard Terry Rozier is currently being investigated by federal prosecutors over his alleged role in a betting ring.
The NBA is partnered with online sports betting companies DraftKings and FanDuel.
