Over the years, Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors has made a few questionable plays that have appeared awfully dirty.
On Friday night, some claim he was up to it again.
A video shared by Grizz Lead on X showed that Green got wrapped up with big man Zach Edey and seemingly “clamped down” on his ankle after falling to the floor.
Was this an honest mistake or Green just being Green?

Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins talked about the incident after the game.
According to ESPN, Jenkins said:
“Overall, thought he was really good,” Jenkins said of Edey, who had 14 points and nine rebounds. “And very disappointing, there was that one play, we were about to start the break and he’s been playing really hard to try to outlet, and Draymond grabs his leg and pulls him down and it doesn’t get reviewed.”
After losing the ball, Green fell to the floor and got his left elbow tangled with Edey’s foot.
Because of that, Edey tripped and fell to the ground, although he wasn’t injured.
If things had gone differently, this moment could have seriously hurt Edey.
Ankles are prone to getting damaged, especially for big men, which is why this whole moment was worrisome for fans.
Both teams were unhappy with the officiating in Friday’s game and fans were upset too.
In the end, Green and his Warriors pulled out a 123-118 win over the Grizzlies and their record now stands at 10-2.
Green raised some eyebrows with this move but both teams are now moving on.
