Draymond Green Sounds Off on Dissing Trump and American Racism: ‘Time’s Up’
On Thursday night, Draymond Green, three-time NBA champion and beating heart of the Golden State Warriors, was ejected from a 119-104 loss to the surging New York Knicks. With 1:04 left in the second quarter, Green received his second technical after yelling at rookie teammate James Wiseman—which referees mistakenly thought was directed at them (they later admitted they’d screwed the pooch). Hours earlier, I was on a Zoom call with Green to discuss, among other things, his road to recovery.
“I’m rounding into form—getting my wind back, getting my body back, getting my legs up under me,” Green told me. “I’m feeling pretty good. It’s starting to come together.”
Green, 30, has had a rough go of it this season. After a (rumored) battle with COVID-19, he suffered a foot injury that sidelined him for the Warriors’ first few games and affected his fitness. There have also been whispers around the league that his good pal Damian Lillard is trying to woo him over to Portland.
