As usual, Draymond Green once again stood out with a very nasty foul on Karl-Anthony Towns, during the night from Thursday to Friday in the NBA.
One more action to the (long) list of dirty plays by Draymond Green. As usual, the interior of the Golden State Warriors once again made headlines during the match between Golden State and New York, on the night of Thursday to Friday in the NBA.
At the very start of the fourth quarter, Stephen Curry’s teammate tried to contain Karl-Anthony Towns in an… unorthodox way. Falling to the ground when the Knicks player dribbles, Green “clings” to the private parts and then to the leg of his opposite number.
He still finished the match
The four-time NBA champion received a flagrant foul 1, which sent “KAT” to the free throw line. However, he escaped an expulsion (flagrant 2) and was able to finish the match, ultimately won by the Warriors (126-113).
Since the start of his career, Green has been ejected 25 times, which places him in second place in the ranking of players most often ejected from the court in all of NBA history, behind Rasheed Wallace.
At the end of 2023, in the middle of a meeting between the Warriors and the Phoenix Suns, Green delivered a violent punch to Jusuf Nurkic’s face. A few weeks earlier, he had already distinguished himself by grabbing Frenchman Rudy Gobert by the neck during a scuffle (five match suspension). Other examples since the start of his career (kick in the private parts of Steven Adams in 2016, trampling on the chest of Domantas Sabonis in April 2023, etc.) have contributed to fueling his reputation as a dirty playerdirty player.
