Watch Draymond Green Choking Rudy Gobert In Timberwolves- Warriors Game
In a heated NBA clash between the Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves, star player Draymond Green ignited a wild brawl that could potentially lead to a significant suspension. The incident unfolded early in the game, triggered by a tangle between Green’s teammate Klay Thompson and Wolves forward Jaden McDaniels as they raced down the court. This confrontation escalated into a pushing match, setting the stage for a dramatic showdown.
A video capturing the moment shows Green placing an opponent, Rudy Gobert, in a chokehold. Warriors coach Steve Kerr can be seen urgently urging Green to release his grip as other players, coaches, and referees intervene to defuse the situation. The altercation resulted in the ejection of Green, Thompson, and McDaniels. Notably, this marked Green’s second ejection of the week, as he was also tossed out of a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers just days earlier due to another scuffle.
Warriors announcer Bob Fitzgerald expressed the intensity of the situation, describing it as a “full-on fracas” that spiraled out of control rapidly. Colour commentator Kelenna Azubuike pointed out the physical toll, highlighting the ripped jersey of Klay Thompson as evidence that this was more than a mere scuffle.
Calls for a suspension of Draymond Green echoed in the aftermath of the brawl, with The Athletic’s Tony Jones characterizing the four-time All-Star as “unhinged in the last three games.” Green’s history includes previous controversial incidents, such as punching a teammate during a pre-season training session last year and a notable suspension in the 2016 NBA Finals for an incident involving LeBron James.
This latest clash adds to the narrative of Green’s confrontational career, raising questions about the potential consequences for his actions on the court. Follow us on instagram
