If the Warriors Win on Monday, Draymond Green Will Have to Pay $500 to Celebrate on the Floor

With a win on Monday, the Golden State Warriors will win the NBA championship, and if they do, suspended forward Draymond Green will just have to hang out in the locker room while his teammates celebrate on the court, or pay a $500 fine.

This is because of Section IV of the NBA rulebook, which reads:

"If a player, coach or assistant coach is suspended from a game or games, he shall not at any time before, during or after such game or games appear in any part of the arena or stands where his team is playing. A player, coach or assistant coach who is ejected may only remain in the dressing room of his team during the remainder of the game, or leave the building. A violation of this rule shall call for an automatic fine of $500."

Odds are, Green just eats the fine, and we’ll all be left without the bitterly amusing scene of Green sitting alone in the locker room like a puppy waiting for his people to come home.
