Golden State's Draymond Green is known for his hot-tempered style on the basketball court. And in 2022, he was fined the equivalent of $236,000 for saying inappropriate things to a spectator.
He is once again at risk of punishment for approaching a man, who was sitting right next to the pitch, to have a very close discussion with him, in the away match against New Orleans.
"He called me a female name all the time. It's not respectful," Green says.
The referee arrived quickly and pulled the player away.
The judge said he heard the man and that I handled it well. “Don’t get in trouble, I’ll take care of it,” the judge said. He was great,” Green says.
The New Orleans fan was cautioned but allowed to remain in the game. Golden State won the game 124–106.
