Draymond Green was fined $50,000 by the NBA for making comments that questioned the integrity of game officials during Game 3, where he fouled out and the Minnesota Timberwolves were leading by eight points. While discussing the game’s point spread of 5.5, Green was heard saying, “5.5, I know what y’all doing,” which led to the fine, as the league swiftly penalizes players for suggesting referees make calls based on gambling lines. The NBA has a history of fining players, including Luka Doncic and Trae Young, for similar insinuations.
