Timberwolves Investigate Racist Fan Comments Targeting Draymond Green

During Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors, the Timberwolves launched an investigation after a fan was accused of making racially charged comments toward Warriors star Draymond Green. One fan was ejected for violating the NBA's fan code of conduct during the game, while a second individual left the arena before being identified but was reported by other fans to have made racially charged remarks. The Timberwolves emphasized their commitment to maintaining an inclusive and safe environment, stating that racist and hateful behavior will not be tolerated. The incident occurred amid heightened tensions following Green's technical foul after an altercation with Timberwolves player Naz Reid, which provoked crowd chants and further scrutiny. Green expressed frustration over perceived racial biases in officiating and fan behavior but remained composed during the game. The team continues to investigate and may take additional action against those involved.
