"Just remember shaking": Domantas Sabonis' wife Shashana describes infamous Draymond Green stomping Kings star incident in Netflix's 'Starting 5'

The Domantas Sabonis-Draymond Green infamous "stomp" incident was one of the focal points in the third episode of Netflix's "Starting 5." Titled "Survival of the Fittest," the chapter focuses on the Sacramento Kings center's on-court incident with Green.

Sabonis' wife Shashana was clearly not happy with the melee, and explained as much in the docuseries.

She noted that she was seven months pregnant when the incident unfolded and revealed she was horrified by what she saw.

"Let's talk about me and the situation. I just remember shaking thinking I was gonna give birth. I just see them put a towel over my husband's head and I was done."

The act saw Green suspended for one game as both teams jousted it out in Round 1 of the playoffs. The incident occurred with 7:03 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Kings' 114-106 Game 2 victory.

After Sabonis slipped and fell in the paint, he grabbed the Warriors forward's right leg. Green, while initially shaking off Sabonis' grip, took a hard step right on the big's chest. The aftermath of the game saw Sabonis on the injury list a bruised sternum, listed questionable for Game 3.

"I was protecting myself": Domantas Sabonis explains the stomping incident

Speaking to the media, Domantas Sabonis shared his two cents on the incident, explaining that grabbed on to Green's leg to protect himself. According to ESPN:

"When I fell, I was protecting myself, and then the incident happened. There is no room for that in our game today."

The Kings entered the postseason breaking a 16-year playoff drought. But they fell, 4-3, stretching the series to Game 7 with the in-state rivals.

As for Green, this was the second time he served a suspension during the playoffs. The other occurred in the 2016 NBA Finals after he stacked up too many flagrant fouls in the playoffs — one ending with hitting LeBron James in the groin after the two got tangled in Game 4.

Earlier in those playoffs, Green was tossed for kicking Oklahoma City Thunder big Steven Adams in the groin.
