The NBA has fined Warriors power forward JaMychal Green $20K for shouting expletives at a ref near the end of yesterday’s 130-119 loss to the Suns in Phoenix, the league announced in a statement (Twitter link).
Green has been somewhat underwhelming for the somewhat underwhelming 6-9 reigning champs this season, averaging 4.8 PPG on .411/.227/.857 shooting splits and 4.5 RPG across 17.0 MPG. He was signed to a veteran’s minimum deal to help replace reserve forward Otto Porter Jr., who left Golden State over the summer to ink a two-year, $12.4M deal with the Raptors.
The 32-year-old Green is a career 36.4% three-point shooter, though he hasn’t averaged more than 27% since the 2020-21 NBA season. Against the Suns yesterday, Green scored two points on 1-of-7 shooting and pulled down two boards, in 17 minutes of action.
The 6’8″ reserve will next suit up for Golden State tomorrow against the Knicks.
