Draymond fined $50K for directing 'offensive language' toward official
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has been fined $50,000 by the league for directing inappropriate and offensive language toward an NBA official during Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to Royce Young of ESPN.
Green was ejected from Tuesday's contest in the fourth quarter after picking up a pair of technical fouls. It's unclear which incident specifically earned Green the hefty fine, though the 26-year-old looked irate in the second quarter when he received his first technical after complaining that Jerami Grant wasn't called for a foul for elbowing him on a drive attempt.

According to Green, he will now have to wear braces for a few weeks after his front tooth was dislodged slightly as a result of the incident.
