A , which includes a list of players who have underperformed their preseason rankings, shows that Green’s ranking has plummeted significantly. The Warriors forward was in the consensus 44th position before the start of the season. However, now he is at No. 227, indicating an astounding drop of 187 positions in the rankings! This came on the heels of his two suspensions that the league imposed on him due to his “history of unsportsmanlike acts.”
He was first suspended for five games for putting Rudy Gobert in a chokehold during the team’s loss to the on November 15. Not even a month later, the league suspended him indefinitely after he smacked Phoenix Suns’ center Jusuf Nurkic across the face on December 12.
All these ejections and suspensions have burned a deep hole in Green’s pockets. The three ejections have cost him $2000, $4000, and $6000 respectively. The four technical fouls this season alone sum up to $8000. For the five-game suspension, he lost $769,705. His indefinite suspension is expected to last three weeks as he undergoes counseling. However, the six games he has missed so far tally up to $923,646 in money lost, adding up to $17,13,351 in fines this season alone.
