Draymond Green was fined $50,000 by the NBA for making comments that questioned the integrity of game officials during Game 3, where he had fouled out and the Minnesota Timberwolves were leading by eight points. He was overheard discussing the game’s point spread of 5.5, implying awareness of officiating bias. This fine reflects the league’s strict stance against insinuating that referees make calls based on betting lines, a violation previously penalized for other players like Luka Doncic and Trae Young.
