Draymond Green received a slap on the wrist for his encounter with a fan in the Warriors’ 124-106 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday at Smoothie King Center.
With 2:02 remaining in the second quarter, Green was seen interacting with a fan sitting courtside, who the Warriors forward later revealed was taunting him by repeatedly referring to him as Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese after he failed to tip in a missed layup several times, among other things.
Well, the NBA did not approve of Green’s heated interaction with the fan, and issued him a warning, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Tuesday, citing a source.
The NBA has issued a warning to Golden State’s Draymond Green for his interaction with a vocal fan in New Orleans on Sunday night, source tells ESPN. No fine. The fan was chanting “Angel Reese” toward Green, who responded face-to-face as taunts continued.

The fan was not ejected from Sunday’s game, but similarly to Green, was issued a warning by arena security.
In the end, both sides were warned, and it’s safe to assume that when Golden State returns to New Orleans on Feb. 24, everyone will be on their best behavior.
Right?
