Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has never shied away from confrontation, whether on the court or off it. But during warm-ups before Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Green found himself in an unsettling situation—one that transcended basketball.
As Green prepared for the game, a fan in the stands allegedly directed a racist slur at him. The moment was captured on video and later posted on X, sparking widespread outrage. Green, known for his outspoken nature, immediately confronted the individual, refusing to let the comment go unchecked.

This isn’t the first time Green has faced such behavior. In past seasons, he has spoken openly about the racial abuse athletes endure, particularly in hostile environments.
