Minneapolis, Minnesota – The Minnesota Timberwolves are currently investigating an incident that occurred during Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals, where a fan allegedly made racially charged comments directed at Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green.

According to a statement released by the Timberwolves’ public relations team, one fan was ejected for violating the league’s fan code of conduct. A second individual is being scrutinized for reportedly making inappropriate remarks toward Green during the game.

Footage taken from the arena during the fourth quarter seemingly captured the moment, showing someone in the crowd addressing Green while he was seated on a stationary bike. Following this incident, Green engaged with a spectator before security intervened.

Warriors’ security confirmed that a fan was removed from the venue after directing a racial slur at Green. This individual was escorted from the arena, while the second alleged offender left before security could identify him.

Under the NBA’s official fan code of conduct, fans are expected to comply with numerous guidelines. Those who fail to do so can face consequences, including ejection, a revocation of season tickets, or even a ban from future events.

In the aftermath of the game, Green expressed his frustrations in front of reporters, addressing a broader narrative about how he is perceived in the public eye, stating he is “tired of the agenda to make me look like an angry Black man.” While it’s unclear if these comments were specifically in reference to the fan incident, they reflect ongoing issues surrounding race and sports.

Green also faced disciplinary action from officials during the game, receiving a technical foul in the second quarter after an elbow directed at Timberwolves center Naz Reid. This season, Green has accumulated five technical fouls, nearing the threshold for an automatic one-game suspension.

The Timberwolves edged the Warriors 117-93 in Game 2, equalizing the series at 1-1 as it heads to the Chase Center for upcoming games. The incident has brought renewed attention to the behavior of fans and the atmosphere surrounding professional sports.
