Beijing time on May 6 news, the NBA officially announced that Grizzlies player Dillon Brooks was banned for one game, and Warriors player Drummond Green was fined $25,000 for making insulting gestures.
In the second round of the Western Conference Semifinals, Dillon was directly expelled from the game for knocking Peyton Jr. to the ground and being punished with a second-degree malicious foul, and the ban was an additional punishment imposed by the league.
The diagnosis revealed that Dillon's foul resulted in a fractured elbow in Payton Jr.'s left arm with a ligament strain, which was reviewed two weeks later. This means that he has missed this series, and whether the next Western Conference Finals or Finals can return (if the Warriors go far enough) depends on how he recovers next.
The Warriors' series with the Grizzlies was indeed a miserable one, with two games being punished for second-degree malicious fouls, one being Dillon above and the other being Drummond Green.
Green was punished by g1 for a second-degree malicious foul, he pulled the Grizzlies directly to the ground when they went to the basket, but the consequences were far less serious than Dillon's, and he always protected the Grizzlies from secondary injuries during the entire process of the Grizzlies' fall to the ground.
It is not known whether the Grizzlies player was "deliberate" or unintentional, but at the beginning of the second game of the series, Green was injured by the Grizzlies player and caused him to leave the court for a while to return to the locker room for stitches. Probably angered by fans and Grizzlies players, Green gave a middle finger to the fans in the stands as he left the court, and the league recently imposed a $25,000 fine on the act.
Not long ago, the Warriors head coach said to the Grizzlies' defense that this has been out of the category of high-load confrontation, so playing is a dirty performance.
