Watch: Green's latest kick nearly takes out Westbrook, Roberson
Draymond Green just can't seem to keep his flailing legs out of the spotlight.
After the All-NBA big man narrowly avoided suspension for his kick to the groin of Steven Adams in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals, and then found himself in the news again when he appeared to trip up Enes Kanter in Game 4, Green was back at it when the series returned to Oracle Arena for Game 5.
First, Green made contact with Kevin Durant and, as seen above, Green nearly took out Russell Westbrook and Andre Roberson with kicks to the face later in the Warriors' Game 5 win.

It's been well established by now that Green has a tendency to shoot his legs up in a kicking motion as he attempts to draw fouls, and if the league didn't suspend him for the more malicious-looking example involving Adams' groin, it's tough to envision the All-Star being banned for his Game 5 actions.
Still, it's worth remembering that Green is one flagrant foul away from an automatic suspension due to his accumulation of flagrant points thus far in the playoffs, so he continues to tread - or rather kick - on thin ice.
