Golden State forward Draymond Green has been suspended for one game without pay for stepping on the chest of Sacramento's Domantas Sabonis and will miss Game 3 of the Warriors' first-round playoff series Thursday night.

The NBA made the announcement late Tuesday, two days before the series shifts to the defending champions' home court at Chase Center.

The NBA made the announcement of a decision by executive vice president and head of basketball operations Joe Dumars. "The suspension was based in part on Green's history of unsportsmanlike acts," the release said.

In the fourth quarter of the Kings' 114-106 Game 2 win Monday night, Green stomped on the chest of Sabonis after Curry grabbed a defensive rebound.

With 3 runs needed from the final delivery, Dhoni made a few changes to the field with three fielders on the leg side along with a sweeper cover and a long-off. The plan was to target the leg stump and make sure that Raza was not able to hit a boundary. However, Raza was able to guide the ball above backward square leg and although the ball was stopped before the boundary, the batters ran three to win the game. It was a rare instance when “Captain Cool” was not able to implement his masterplan.
