Oakland, Calif. - Draymond Green, the Warriors power forward is suspended for Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Monday night after giving him flagrant foul 1 by the league for his action in Game 4.

James stepped over Green after the Warriors forward fell to the court, and Green swung his arm and appeared to make contact with James. James immediately turned around, and the two went chest-to-chest as play continued.
By these action, flagrant 1 was given to Green his fourth flagrant foul point of the playoffs, which carried an automatic suspension.
Previously, Green was assessed a flagrant 2 and fined $25,000 for kicking Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams. He also received a flagrant 1 for throwing down Houston Rockets forward Michael Beasley in the first round.
James received a technical foul for physically taunting Green in Friday's altercation, the NBA announced.
