Draymond Green Felt Like a ‘Coward’ After NBA Punishments Lead to Rare Decision

Draymond Green did something rare after the Warriors’ brutal Game 4 loss to the Timberwolves — he apologized. Not for a flagrant foul, surprisingly, but for skipping the podium. The fiery forward admitted postgame that he avoided speaking to the media out of frustration and fear of getting fined, only to later feel like a “coward” for not facing the heat. Classic Draymond: raw, real, and unfiltered.

Of course, his self-reflection didn’t come out of nowhere. Green had a wild night on the court, escaping what looked like a blatant foul after grabbing Donte DiVincenzo around the neck. That moment came during another meltdown performance for the Warriors, who fell behind 3–1 in the series after Minnesota’s third-quarter blitz.

Draymond finished with 14 points, but the numbers hardly mattered. With Steph Curry sidelined, the Dubs looked lost — and Anthony Edwards made sure they paid for it, torching Golden State with a 30-point masterpiece.

The Timberwolves’ young star is rising fast, and the Warriors? They’re spiraling. Game 5 in Minnesota could be the end of the road… unless Draymond and Co. find one last miracle. Just don’t expect him to stay silent again — fine or no fine.
