As the Golden State Warriors went head-to-head against the Charlotte Hornets, the game took a dramatic turn when Hornets power forward Grant Williams and Warriors’ Lester Quinones got into a brawl, reportedly triggered by Williams calling Quinones a derogatory term. The altercation escalated to the point where both players had to be separated by various teammates and security personnel. Ultimately, Williams was ejected from the game as a consequence of his actions.
In a post-game press conference, Warriors power forward Draymond Green weighed in on the altercation, expressing his confusion over why “people get so mad.” Green voiced his belief that Williams wouldn’t have reacted negatively if his team had been leading in points, even accusing him of being a “sore loser.”
During the press conference, Green remarked:
Talking too much is kinda what got you out of Dallas.
Draymond Green said
He referenced rumored reports that Williams was traded to the Hornets due to players like Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving allegedly being intolerant of his personality. In conclusion, Green summed up his opinion on the Hornets player with just four words.
Pray for Grant Williams.

Draymond Green talks up Milwaukee Bucks championship aspirations
Draymond Green, the All-Star veteran forward for the Golden State Warriors, has questioned the Milwaukee Bucks’ status as serious title contenders in the current NBA season. Green cited their strong roster but highlighted the ongoing health challenges of All-Star Khris Middleton as a limiting factor for the Bucks, despite the talents of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard on their team.

Green emphasized Middleton’s integral role and expressed concerns about the Bucks’ title chances if Middleton is not fully recovered.
Do I think the Bucks have a legit title shot? Uh, they have two great players in Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, that always gives you a chance. However, they need a very a healthy Khris Middleton. Khris hasn’t seemed that healthy this year and because of that I don’t think they are title contenders.
Draymond Green said
Khris Middleton has been a key player for the Milwaukee Bucks this season, contributing significantly despite battling through injuries. The Bucks, led by stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, currently hold the third spot in the Eastern Conference with a record of 36-21. However, recent struggles, including seven losses in their last 11 games under interim head coach Doc Rivers, have raised concerns about their performance heading into the latter part of the season.
