The fan, Sam Green, said he chanted the name of WNBA forward Angel Reese at the forward because he had several rebound opportunities but had yet to make a shot. <\/p>\n
“I wasn’t using profanity, and for him to walk 12 feet off the court to come and get in my face like that, it was a little unnerving,” said Sam Green.<\/p>\n
The supporter was given a warning by stewards but was allowed to remain in his front-row seat. <\/p>\n
“He was talking at first,” said Draymond Green, who was fined $25,000 (\u00a319,000) for “directing obscene language” towards a fan in 2022. <\/p>\n
“Then you get a little closer and he didn’t really say much else. But it’s fine. We move on.”<\/p>\n
Warriors coach Steve Kerr said he was unaware of what was said during the confrontation.<\/p>\n
“As long as it doesn’t escalate,” Kerr said. <\/p>\n
“It’s fine to go over and have a discussion. I had no problem with it but it would have been nice if security had got there a little bit earlier.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The fan, Sam Green, said he chanted the name of WNBA forward Angel Reese at the forward because…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":291071,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-291070","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-basketball","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-basketball","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291070"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291070\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/291071"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
