Draymond Green no longer has 15 technical fouls.

The NBA rescinded the technical Draymond was assessed against the Thunder on Saturday night.

The reigning Defensive Player of the Year now has 14 technicals on the season.

If he gets to 16, he will be suspended one game (and gets a $5,000 fine).

After the game, Steve Kerr was asked if he's concerned about Draymond's technical situation.

"Doesn't concern me at all," Kerr said. "I want Draymond playing the way he played tonight. Draymond is an emotional player and when he plays with passion and he's yelling and screaming, we're at our best.

"If he gets a T, he gets a T ... I didn't think he did anything. From my angle, he was looking in the stands and trying to get the crowd into it. I understand the guy was on the ground so maybe the ref thought he was taunting him."

Draymond also weighed in on the technical.

"They called a tech. I'm an emotional guy. I play with high emotion. I love this game of basketball. I play with passion. I'll continue to play with passion," Draymond said after the win over OKC.

So you're not worried about the 16th?

"I got kids. Worried about how they grow up," Draymond said. "I'm not gonna worry about a technial foul ... there's bigger things in life than a tech."

This is the 13th time this season a player has had a technical rescinded after league review.
