Draymond Shoves Wembanyama, Earns Flagrant 1
14 Nov
Summary
- Draymond Green received a flagrant 1 foul for shoving Victor Wembanyama.
- The foul occurred during Golden State's NBA Cup game against San Antonio.
- Green was previously ejected earlier this month for two technical fouls.
Draymond Green received a flagrant 1 foul for shoving Victor Wembanyama during the Golden State Warriors' NBA Cup game against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night. The incident occurred near the basket when Green made contact from behind, which officials deemed unnecessary.
While a flagrant 1 does not result in automatic ejection, Green remained in the game. This is significant given that the Warriors were already playing without Stephen Curry, who is out with an oblique injury. Green's defensive contribution and leadership are crucial for the team, especially in Curry's absence.
This flagrant foul is not an isolated incident for Green this month. He was ejected earlier in November following two technical fouls in a game against the Phoenix Suns. Additionally, Green recently confronted a fan during a game in Houston, which also resulted in a fan being escorted out. The Warriors are navigating a challenging period with key players sidelined and Green's disciplinary record under increased scrutiny.
