Timberwolves Make Announcement on Controversial Ejection vs Warriors

Amidst the controversy of the Draymond Green technical foul in Game 2 in Minnesota, a Timberwolves fan had a back-and-forth with Green during the 4th quarter. Green was seen going back and forth with a fan while on a stationary bike, with security then removing the fan as play continued on the court.

The Timberwolves team security says that there was a racial slur directed at Green, which sparked the heated conversation between the two.

A fan was ejected at last night's Timberwolves-Warriors game for directing a racial slur at Draymond, per the team's security.
