Draymond Green is indefinitely suspended by the NBA following his incident with Jusuf Nurkic, the four-time champ's second altercation of the season. As he continues to work his way back into the league's good graces to rejoin the team, a photo of Chase Center has begun to circulate.

The photo, which showed a sign on the wall that read: "Draymond Green Sensory Room", was shared by parody account ButtCrackSports and quickly went viral.

The account traditionally posts false news and fake quotes to trick unsuspecting fans, analysts and even players, but in this case, the claim is true. Chase Center does indeed have a Draymond Green sensory room.

According to the Chase Center website, there are two Wellness Rooms -- the Simu Liu Wellness Room near Portal 12 and the Draymond Green Wellness Room near Portal 59.

The rooms are designed to be a safe and calming environment for guests who are overstimulated and have "sensory related needs."

Draymond Green's involvement as an advocate for autism

Draymond Green has long been an advocate for those suffering from autism. While Green was playing at Michigan, he learned that his friend and teammate, Anthony Ianni, was autistic.

Since then, Green has continued to be an advocate for those with autism, even hosting an event for Autism Awareness Month in April. At the event co-hosted by Green and Ianni, the four-time NBA champ ran a one-day basketball camp for children with autism.

He spoke to ABC7 about what the cause meant to him.

"Just to see someone's smile, you know, you see, you know, some of these kids, young adults smile so important you never know what they're going through in a life of. So just to bring some excitement to their lives is always important for me.
"Understanding and doing your part is important. So I always try to bring awareness, try to bring people together and any time that you can do that for me is success."
