Draymond Green Speaks Out: Is There a Target on His Back After Controversial Technical Foul?

MINNEAPOLIS — Here’s the skinny: Draymond Green is skating on thin ice with the referees in these playoffs — just two technical fouls away from a suspension after a heated moment in Game 2 against the Timberwolves. The Warriors’ fiery forward didn’t stick around for the usual postgame Q&A, instead making a bold declaration about feeling singled out by the league’s officiating crew. His frustration? Palpable. Green isn’t just pushing back on calls he thinks are unfair; he’s calling out a deeper narrative he refuses to be boxed into — rejecting the stereotype that’s been unfairly pinned on him. It’s a vivid reminder of the tightrope he walks between playing hard and staying out of trouble, and with the series knotted up after Minnesota’s decisive win, every technical is a step closer to sidelining a key piece of Golden State’s puzzle. Coach Steve Kerr knows it too — cautioning Green to keep his cool while trusting he’ll avoid crossing that line. The drama here isn’t just what’s happening on the court, but what’s bubbling beneath the surface, and it’s shaping up to be a storyline worth watching closely. LEARN MORE
