The Golden State Warriors off to a solid start to the 2025-26 NBA season and it wouldn’t be the normal Warriors if star forward Draymond Green wasn’t involved in a few spats here and there.
The most recent for Green came on Sunday in New Orleans against the Pelicans when he chose to address a fan court side who kept chanting “Angel Reese” toward him, which eventually prompted Green to go face-to-face with the fan as taunts continued.
However, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the NBA came to a decision on potential punishment for Green and elected to not fine the Warriors veteran, classifying it as a “warning.”
Green addressed the situation after the game. While the interaction didn't escalate beyond a face-to-face exchange, he admitted he didn't appreciate the fan repeatedly calling it a "good joke at first."
"He just kept calling me a woman. It was a good joke at first, but you can’t keep calling me a woman. I got four kids. One on the way. Can’t keep calling me a woman," Green explained. "He got quiet, though, so it was fine."
Green and the Warriors got the last laugh as they ended up winning the contest 123-106, but Green has not had the best start statistically, currently averaging 7.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game, while shooting 37.3% from the field, 35.6% from the 3-point line, and 58.5% from the charity stripe.
