Draymond Inexperienced picked up his fifth technical foul of the 2025 NBA playoffs in the course of the Warriors’ 117-93 Sport 2 loss to the Timberwolves on Thursday.
The incident occurred early within the second quarter when Timberwolves massive Naz Reid fouled Inexperienced on the high of the important thing. Inexperienced flailed and elbowed Reid within the head. The referees reviewed the play and slapped Inexperienced with a dead-ball technical foul.
The decision left Inexperienced irate, with Stephen Curry, Steve Kerr and different Warriors making an attempt to calm him down. Kerr instantly benched Inexperienced and saved him out of the sport for practically six minutes.
After the sport, Inexperienced ripped what he sees as an “agenda” to painting him as “an offended Black man.”
“I am not an offended Black man,” Inexperienced stated within the locker room, by way of The Athletic’s Anthony Slater. “I am a really profitable, educated Black man with a terrific household. And I am nice at basketball, I am nice at what I do. The agenda to attempt to hold making me appear to be an offended Black man is loopy. I am sick of it. It is ridiculous.”
