The Minnesota Timberwolves are probing an incident involving Draymond Green, where a fan allegedly directed racially charged comments towards him during the playoff match against the Golden State Warriors. Following a brief post-game statement, Green expressed his frustration over being perceived as an 'angry Black man,' asserting his success and education. He faced a technical foul earlier in the game, and it remains unclear whether his remarks were influenced by this incident or the fan interaction. The Timberwolves emphasized their commitment to maintaining an inclusive environment, stating that racially hateful behavior is unacceptable.

Green's history of technical fouls is notable, with 202 recorded throughout his career. Another technical could lead to a suspension, following a pattern of previous disciplinary actions, including a significant suspension last season. Warriors coach Steve Kerr acknowledged Green's competitive nature, which sometimes leads to crossing lines during intense games. With the series tied at one game each, the stakes remain high as they prepare for the next match.
