In Game 2 against the Timberwolves, the Warriors struggled without Steph Curry, losing 117-93. Draymond Green received his fifth technical foul during the playoffs, which upset him deeply. He stated that he is tired of the media's portrayal of him as an "angry black man," highlighting ongoing challenges in how athletes, particularly Black ones, are represented. Green's frustrations came to light after the game, and head coach Steve Kerr acknowledged the delicate balance Green must maintain on the court amid his passionate playing style.
"The agenda to continue to keep making me look like an angry black man is crazy. I'm sick of it. It's ridiculous."
"Draymond Green is still a key piece that makes the Golden State Warriors successful, known for his effort but often takes physicality too far."
