Sacramento Kings big man Domantas Sabonis appears to have avoided serious injury from Draymond Green’s Game 2 stomp, as his X-rays came back negative for lung and rib damage Monday night, according to an ESPN report.
Green stepped on Sabonis’ chest with 7:03 to play, prompting an ejection for a flagrant foul.
During the review, Sacramento fans shouted derogatory chants at Green, who incited them by waving his hands, holding a hand to his ear for louder cheers and standing on a chair.
“They grabbed my leg,” Green said. “Second time in two nights. The refs just look at it. I’ve got to land my foot somewhere. I’m not the most flexible person, so it doesn’t stretch that far. … I can only take one step so far.”
The Kings won the game 114-106.

It will now be up to the NBA to determine if a ejection is all that was warranted or if Green will face a possible suspension.
“It was a glaring-2 for sure,” Kings head coach Mike Brown said. “It will be interesting to see what the NBA does after they review it.
The Kings and Warriors will play Game 3 in San Francisco on Thursday.
