Golden State Warriors: Green challenges KD on his future with the team
By Simon Hannig
The Golden State Warriors have some drama to figure out. Kevin Durant and Draymond Green got into some beef while on the bench during Monday night’s game in a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Golden State Warriors lost a close game last night. After Draymond Green failed to get a shot up in the final seconds of regulation, Kevin Durant made his frustration towards Green clear. An argument pursued on the bench during the break and the Warriors went on to lose the game in overtime.
Adrian Wojnarowski and Marc Spears of ESPN reported earlier in the day, the organization is looking through the situation.
"The organization is taking seriously the fallout of Monday night’s confrontation, spending Tuesday working through the issues that may have been created — or even advanced — within the team’s dynamic, league sources said."
As stated earlier, this all stemmed from what happened during the last play of regulation.
"Teammates argued with Green over his choice in the final moments to keep the ball instead of passing to Durant for a try at a game-winning shot, sources said. Meanwhile, Green was forceful in defending himself, which helped to escalate the volume in the room, sources said. Durant was visibly upset when Green gathered a defensive rebound in the final moments of a tie game and dribbled the ball up the court before losing control without a shot. Durant was seen clapping his hands, an apparent call for the ball."
We have seen Green getting into it with his teammates and his coaches during his tenure with the Warriors. However, this time was slightly different, as some words were shared that could potentially have crossed the line.
