Scott Cacciola of the New York Times?once described the athleticism of Stephen Curry as his ability to turn “each field-goal attempt into a telenovela”. His shots are entertaining for his fans and both crushing and dramatic for his opponents. But what caused actual drama recently was a fight between Draymond Green and Deandre Ayton.
Phoenix Sun’s Deandre Ayton and the Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green were seen in a heated argument during their recent matchup. Reports claim that Green shoved Ayton and also got called a double technical foul by the referee.

However, the Warriors have had a surprising start to their campaign, currently 12th in the Western Conference with a 6-9 record after their latest 130-119 loss to the Phoenix Suns. Curry dropped a staggering 50 points along with 9 rebounds and 6 assists on the night. But it was in vain as the Suns came away with the win, now with a 9-5 record for the season.
It was just last month that Draymond Green was slammed for his physical altercation with teammate Jordan Poole. Since then, he has apologized and has worked his way back into the squad. Many claimed that Poole got punched due to issues regarding a contract extension at the time. Poole subsequently got a four-year contract extension worth $140 million.
