Fan directed racial slur at Golden State’s Draymond Green in Thursday’s game.

“It’s part of Draymond,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after Thursday’s game. “The same thing that makes him such a competitor and winner puts him over the top sometimes. We know that. It’s our job to try to help him stay poised, stay composed. But the competition is so meaningful to him that occasionally he goes over the line.”

Including playoffs, according to data compiled by SportRadar, Green has been assessed 202 technical fouls in his career.

Green missed 16 games last season after a suspension for striking Phoenix center Jusuf Nurkic in the face during a Dec. 12, 2023 game, earned a five-game ban earlier that season after an altercation with the Wolves’ Rudy Gobert, stepped on the chest of Sacramento’s Domantas Sabonis and earned a suspension during the 2023 playoffs, plus missed Game 5 of the 2016 NBA Finals because of an accumulation of flagrant foul points during that postseason.
