Draymond Green's kicking legs almost got him in trouble again.

While defending Thunder center Enes Kanter in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals, Green tripped him as he attempted to recover a loose ball. No call was made at the time, but according to the NBA's rule book, Green should've been called for a flagrant foul on the play.

However, the NBA reviewed the play on Wednesday, and according to CBS Sports' Ken Berger, the league will not penalize Green.

If the NBA had determined that Green should've been called for a flagrant foul, the Warriors' All-Star would've been automatically suspended for Game 5 since he would've passed the league's threshold for playoff flagrant penalty points. Green is right on the edge of being suspended after kicking Steven Adams in the groin in Game 3, which resulted in the league fining him $25,000 while also upgrading the flagrant foul to a Flagrant-2.

This is good news for the Warriors as Green has been instrumental to their success this season. Green has, however, played poorly in Golden State's last two games, a fact that he is well aware of. If the Warriors want to avoid elimination, they will need a strong performance from Green. Otherwise, their historic season could come to a rather sudden end.
