The indefinite suspension of Draymond Green doesn’t mean the controversy over Golden State Warriors penalties is over.
Chris Paul was assessed a flagrant 1 foul after making contact with Los Angeles Clippers center Daniel Thies in the second quarter Thursday night.
Paul appeared to push at Theis’ chest as he went to the basket. Thies immediately fell to the court.

I mean. Theis might have flopped a bit there 😂 CP3 fouled him but calling that a flagrant?! Wow.

Klay hilarious for shooting the ball while Theis pushes CP3
Some fans joked that Paul had taken the role of the absent Green, who was suspended indefinitely by the NBA Wednesday for his “repeated history of unsportsmanlike conduct.”

Paul had recorded five points, three rebounds and three assists off the bench in the first half.
The Warriors came into the contest looking to snap a two-game losing skid, while the Clippers were hoping for their sixth straight win.
