Draymond Green got involved in altercation with Tristan Thompson back in 2018

While the situation in the Golden State Warriors team seems to have been handled well, this was not Draymond Green’s first physical altercation. The tension between Green and former Cleveland Cavaliers player Tristan Thompson reportedly started during the NBA season 2017-18 Finals. Thompson was benched during Game 1 against the Warriors in the 2018 NBA Finals. While Thompson was walking out of the court, he and Green had a minor exchange, after which Thompson threw the basketball in the latter’s face. Furthermore, the four-time NBA Champion indirectly called out to Thompson when he told the reporters that he could meet the former Cavaliers player any day in the streets.
