Draymond Green, nearing automatic suspension, has technical foul rescinded

The NBA rescinded the technical foul assessed to Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green on Saturday night -- what had been his 15th technical, one shy of an automatic suspension and a $5,000 fine.

The decision drops Green to 14 technical fouls and a little more breathing room.

Green picked up the technical with 1:04 left in the first half of the Warriors' 112-80 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. It came after he was called for a foul trying to block a shot from Thunder forward Jerami Grant.

Green's tech came after Thunder forward Carmelo Anthony and Warriors forward Kevin Durant had to be separated following an altercation. Anthony and Durant each received technicals.
