Green then looked down to see what Sabonis was doing. As Green collected himself, he used his right foot to step on Sabonis’s chest. The Kings player writhed in pain as the referees tried to break up the scrum, Sabonis writing in pain.
Green returned to the bench while officials reviewed the play. He was later seen chatting with Kings fans with at least one man giving Green the double birds.
