Toronto Raptors Star Reacts to Draymond Green Choking Rudy Gobert
The Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves had a wild scuffle
www.si.comI don’t have live access to the latest updates in this turn, but here’s what’s widely reported about the incident involving Draymond Green and Rudy Gobert:
-
The event occurred during a Warriors–Timberwolves game when a scuffle between Klay Thompson and Jaden McDaniels escalated, and Green responded by putting Gobert in a chokehold. This led to Green, Gobert, Thompson, and McDaniels being ejected from the game. Sources at the time described the action as an on-court altercation that drew significant attention from fans and analysts.
-
The NBA subsequently suspended Draymond Green for five games, citing escalation of the altercation and Green’s history of unsportsmanlike acts. Gobert’s reaction focused on the perceived “clown behavior” of the incident, and Gobert suggested Green acted to force an ejection in Steph Curry’s absence.
-
Reactions to the incident were mixed in sports media and among players, with some arguing Green’s actions were aimed at defending a teammate, while others criticized the manner of the chokehold and called for disciplinary consistency. A number of outlets summarized the fallout through the lens of league discipline and on-court conduct.
