Draymond Green has managed to stay out of trouble for quite some time now. Ever since his return from suspension, he has avoided getting technical fouls. But tonight, he was issued one. This was after he got into a scuffle again with Desmond Bane during the game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Fans were shocked watching the Golden State Warriors superstar getting back to his wild side.
The Golden State Warriors found it difficult to stretch any lead in the first half. In the second quarter, Grizzlies center Santi Aldama, while on a hot streak, grabbed an offensive rebound and scored with a layup with 6:50 left on the clock. Draymond Green could not stop the shot and held back Aldama by grabbing his shirt. While the Grizzlies argued with the officials about that incident, Green got into a scuffle with Desmond Bane.
Bane was merely trying to move Green away from his head coach. But Green seemingly took offense and grabbed Bane’s hands. Teammates and staff separate the 4-time champion. This stopped the altercation, but Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins fell to the ground after being bumped from behind.
Officials issued technical fouls to both Green and Bane. It was important to make them understand that the altercation was unnecessary. But the talking point revolved around Green. Fans felt he was not reprimanded for grabbing Aldama. Nevertheless, Green tried to calm things down by shaking hands with Bane.
Fans shocked after Draymond Green gets into a scuffle again
This scuffle was not the first time Draymond Green lost control of his anger. But, losing control and receiving an indefinite suspension did not do well for the forward. The former Defensive Player of the Year also underwent therapy to help him overcome these issues. Hence, basketball fans viewed this latest altercation as a step back.
