Green DraymondIt is His wife Hazel Renee focused on the fun side of the Golden State Warriors’ game against the Memphis Grizzlies at Chase Center on Wednesday.
The game was not without drama as Green and Grizzlies power forward Santi Aldama went at it before Desmond Bane took a more heated approach. However, that didn’t deter Renee from laughing and cheering for her superstar husband.
Taking to her Instagram stories, Renee captioned her stories:

“Before the announcement, A wins a double-double with cheese lmao”
It started when Aldama and Green exchanged a few pushes on the floor, which saw Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins get into a heated conversation with the referees on the sidelines.
Bane intervened shortly after and more shoving ensued. The benches of both teams were emptied on the court and the incident ended with double technical faults.
In what later became a display of sportsmanship, both players did so after the match. This season, Draymond Green served a 16-game suspension early after hitting Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic in the face. It remains to be seen whether Green or Bane will receive disciplinary action from the league.
‘They were trying to get me kicked out’: Draymond Green on his altercation with the Grizzlies
After the Warriors’ victory, Draymond Green addressed the incident and according to ESPN’s Kendra Andrews, the veteran said he was caught.
“I got grabbed and ripped my arm off and got a tech… that kind of woke up our team. We left there and never looked back, so shout out to them. Can -maybe they were trying to get me deported, but it worked against them.
It can be said that the incident woke up the Warriors, who beat the Grizzlies 137-116, with Jonathan Kuminga opening the way.
He and Andrew Wiggins scored 22 and 26 points respectively on an evening where Steph Curry was rather calm. Draymond Green finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds, as the victory saw the Warriors improve to 36-32 and are one win below the LA Lakers.
The Warriors are set to play in the play-in tournament which will likely also involve the Lakers, Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks. Only time will tell if they can clinch a playoff spot.
