Golden State Warriors' veteran Draymond Green, known for his own suspension incidents, voiced his frustration with the push for a suspension following Jamal Murray's on-court indiscretion during the Denver Nuggets' Game 2 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday.

Murray's frustration got the better of him as he threw a towel and heat pad from the bench onto the court, directed towards an official. Many believed that such misconduct warranted a suspension, which could have proved detrimental to the Nuggets' chances, already down 2-0 in the series.

However, in a new podcast episode on Tuesday, Green expressed his disbelief at how quickly people call for suspensions in today's game. He stated, "It's crazy how people just automatically start calling for suspensions these days. I just don't really understand that."

Despite the predictions of a suspension, the NBA announced on Tuesday that Murray would face a $100,000 fine, allowing him to be eligible to play in the crucial Game 3 for Denver on Thursday. The officials did not punish Murray during the game as they missed the towel and heat pad throw, with crew chief Marc Davis stating that a technical foul would have been warranted if they had seen it, but not an ejection unless it was deemed deliberate.

Green's comments hold weight given his own history with suspensions. The four-time NBA champion has been suspended six times throughout his career, including two incidents this season. These incidents include his headlock on Rudy Gobert in November and his hit on Jusuf Nurkic in December, which led to a war of words between Green and Nurkic.

Murray, looking to bounce back from a disappointing Game 2 performance where he scored just eight points on 3-of-18 shooting, will now have the opportunity to do so without facing suspension. The Nuggets find themselves in a challenging situation, being down 0-2 in the series, but they will strive to become only the sixth team in NBA history to come back from such a deficit when heading on the road for Games 3 and 4.
