This is something that has been a touchy subject for KD in the past and could easily cause a rift between the two teammates. Taking a blow at Durant’s character is something that might feel like a personal attack.
The next game the Warriors play in is Tuesday night against the Atlanta Hawks. According to recent reports, the team has decided the sit Draymond out of this game.

If the Warriors want to three-peat, then Green and the rest of the team need to stop worrying about what Durant will be doing next summer, especially during the midst of a game. Hopefully, Stephen Curry‘s return will help balance some of this out.
