Draymond Green pulls dirty move on Victor Wembanyama after getting dunked on

Draymond Green was up to his usual tricks Friday against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs.

The Golden State Warriors star was on the wrong end of a poster dunk as Wemby slammed one over him midway through the second quarter at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas. The one-handed flush gave the Spurs a 42-22 lead in what was a San Antonio blowout win from start to finish.

Green could only watch helplessly as the towering Frenchman powered one over him.

The Warriors veteran took his frustrations out on Wembanyama on the Spurs’ very next possession. Draymond trucked Wemby from behind as the latter positioned himself for a potential offensive rebound, slamming the Spurs star into the baseline.

Green was assessed a flagrant penalty 1. Because Dylan Harper drained a three-point shot as the incident unfolded, San Antonio was awarded a bonus free throw and possession.

With Steph Curry recovering from a concerning injury, the Warriors looked helpless against a red-hot Spurs team that entered Friday’s matchup on a 10-game winning streak. San Antonio extended the run to 11 games with a 123-85 drubbing of Golden State.

It’s not the first time Green and Wembanyama have had an on-court flare-up, and it probably won’t be the last.
