Golden State's Draymond Green has been fined but not suspended by the NBA for kicking Oklahoma City's Steven Adams in the groin and will play game four of the Western Conference finals.
Green copped a $US25,000 ($A35,000) fine while the league upgraded the foul to a flagrant two, which would have resulted in an automatic ejection had officials given it that ruling when it happened.
But Green will be on the floor when the Warriors try to even their series with the Thunder at 2-2 on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST) at Oklahoma City.
Green was called for a flagrant one after he was fouled by Adams with 5:57 remaining in the second quarter and kicked his leg up into the New Zealander's groin.
Though the Thunder felt it was intentional, Green and Warriors coach Steve Kerr believed the flagrant would be rescinded by the league.
