Draymond Green Foul Against Zach Edey Upgraded To Flagrant 1
The NBA upgraded Golden State Warriors big man Draymond Green's third quarter foul against Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey on Friday to a Flagrant 1 foul. Green was initially assessed a transition take foul for the play. After a scramble for a loose ball, Edey threw an outlet pass. As the rookie center went to run up the court, Green grabbed his leg and pulled him down. Postgame, Memphis head coach took issue with the play, after praising Edey's play. "Overall, thought he was really good," Jenkins said of Edey. "And very disappointing, there was that one play, we were about to start the break and he's been playing really hard to try to outlet, and Draymond grabs his leg and pulls him down and it doesn't get reviewed. "So I know there's a code in this league, and I don't understand how that wasn't reviewed. Very disappointing." For his part, Edey said "It definitely wasn't a basketball play."
