Draymond Green Calls Out Key Pacers Player During NBA Finals Game 7

Backup forward Obi Toppin had three 17+ point performances through the first six games of the Finals, including a 20-point outburst in their Game 6 win, but the 27-year-old forward disappeared in Game 7.

Through 21 minutes on Sunday night, Toppin dropped zero points, two rebounds, one assist, and three turnovers on 0-4 shooting from the field and 0-3 from beyond the arc. Of course, the loss is not Toppin's fault, but his poor performance is certainly a talking point.

During the game, Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green called out Toppin for his poor performance with three separate posts on Threads (via @money23green).

Via Draymond Green: "And Obi a step slow right now"

Via Draymond Green: "Yeah Game 7 getting to Obi"

Via Draymond Green: "Case of the 7s for Obi. regroup at half time playa"

After the game, Toppin attributed his poor performance to the scary Achilles injury that Tyrese Haliburton suffered in the first quarter.

"We needed Ty out there... It sucked the soul out of us," Toppin said. "I ain't going to say out of everybody. But I don't feel like I played good because I was thinking about it the whole day and I felt like it was my fault."

Following the loss, the Pacers will simply have to regroup and hope that Haliburton does not have to miss the entire 2025-26 season, but guys like Toppin will have to hold it down if he does.
