Timberwolves research after fans were accused of “racist comments” to Warriors’ Draymond Green

The Minnesota Timberwolves announced in a press release on Friday that the team initiated an investigation after some of their fans had violated the NBA fan behavioral code by supposedly “racist” comments on Warriors Power Forward Draymond Green during the second game against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday evening Conference NBA Semifinals.

In a statement by the PR account from Timberwolves on X, the team said that a Minnesota fan was emitted in the fourth quarter of the game on Thursday evening in the Target Center in Minneapolis, while another voluntarily identified it, but is an examination to determine its identity.

“A fan was ejected by Target Center Security

“The Timberwolves and the Target Center are determined to promote an integrative, respectful and safe environment for everyone. Racist, hateful or threatening behavior has no place in our games or in our community and is under no circumstances,” continued the explanation.

When asked about a comment, who divided Warrior’s head coach Steve Kerr on Friday with ABC News video by Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, he replied to what he described as “ugly and unacceptable” cape with green and applauding timberwolves for her processing of the situation.

The fan ejection took place after Green got his fifth technical foul in this year’s playoffs during an incident in the second quarter with the Timberwolves Center Naz Reid. After Green was fouled by Reid, Green seemed to wave his arms and pour Reid in the face with his elbow. During the playoffs, a player is automatically suspended for a game after a 7th technical foul.

According to ESPN, Green claimed during the comments to reporters after the game on Thursday that there was an “agenda” against him.

“Looked like the angry black man,” said Green. “I’m not an angry black man. I am a very successful, educated black man with a great family, and I’m great in basketball and great in what I do.”

“The agenda to continue to look like an angry black man is crazy. I’m fed up. It’s ridiculous,” he added.

The incident occurred during game 2 in Minnesotas 2 victory in the second round of the NBA playoffs, where they defeated the Gold State Warriors 117-93 and defeated the Western Conference Semifinal series 1-1.

The victory came during the absence of Warriors star Steph Curry, who suffered a tense left armpit and will be re -evaluated in a few days.

The Timberwolves and Warriors will compete on Saturday at 8:30 p.m. ET for game 3 in the Chase Center in San Francisco, the home of the Warriors.
