Draymond Green Says Lakers-Rockets Suspension Is Unfair
The now-infamous Rockets vs Lakers brawl that went down over the weekend has meant that the Lakers' Brandon Ingram caught a four-game suspension for "aggressively returning to and escalating the altercation and throwing a punch in the direction of (Chris) Paul, confronting a game official in a hostile manner, and instigating the overall incident by shoving Rockets guard James Harden." Rajon Rondo also copped a three-game suspension for apparently spitting and tossing punches Paul's way, and Paul also will be removed for two games.
Draymond Green has come out and said that he thinks there is a "double-standard" in the way he was previously punished versus the way they were. Check it out below.

“That was garbage,” said Green. “I’m never in favor of guys losing money. But I got suspended in the NBA Finals for attempting to punch somebody. Guys punching each other are getting two games or three games. I attempted to punch somebody, and not in the face, either. It seems like a little bit of a double standard going around this thing. That’s just me, though. I could be wrong. I don’t got all the answers.”
