Draymond Green shoves Victor Wembanyama, earns Flagrant 1 in Warriors-Spurs game
Follow
Warriors forward Draymond Green was assessed a Flagrant‑1 foul after he shoved San Antonio rookie Victor Wembanyama from behind with 6:47 remaining in the second quarter. The contact came while Golden State was down 45‑22, and officials ruled the move included a “wind‑up” that warranted the penalty, marking Green’s first flagrant of the 2026‑27 season and the 21st of his career.
The incident occurred at the Frost Bank Center during the NBA Cup matchup, and comes after Green’s recent ejection on Nov. 2 for a separate on‑court altercation with the Phoenix Suns.
At 36, Green’s physical play is seen as a way to spark a Warriors team missing Stephen Curry and other veterans, though the league’s response underscores the need for him to stay out of trouble.
