Victor Wembanyama gives blunt three-word response to Draymond Green's shove
Follow
Victor Wembanyama delivered a sharp three-word assessment of Draymond Green’s aggressive play during Friday’s NBA Cup clash, calling the veteran’s Flagrant 1 foul ‘not surprising.’ The incident unfolded in the second quarter as Green, accelerating from behind, delivered a forearm shove that sent Wembanyama crashing out of bounds. Officials ruled the contact included a deliberate windup, marking Green’s first flagrant of the season and adding to a recent pattern of physical altercations.
Less than two weeks earlier, he was ejected against the Phoenix Suns for technical fouls amid a bench scuffle with Dillon Brooks. Despite the controversy, Wembanyama remained composed, dismissing the tactic as poor strategy while emphasizing his own confidence on the court.
The Spurs dominated the Warriors 123–85, their 11th straight victory, with Stephon Castle leading the offense with a season-high 32 points. Wembanyama contributed 12 points and 12 rebounds in 21 minutes, while Green logged just 16 minutes with modest stats of four points, three rebounds, and three assists.
