Victor Wembanyama had a chillingly matter-of-fact response Friday night when reporters asked him about Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green’s flagrant foul. Following the San Antonio Spurs’ dominant 123-85 win over the Warriors, Wemby simply said, “It’s not surprising,” regarding Green pushing him in the back.
Green’s Frustration Boils Over in Blowout
This whole thing went down in the second quarter. The Spurs were already up big, leading Golden State by a staggering 23 points. Green committed a flagrant foul 1, shoving Wembanyama in the back, and frankly, it felt like pure frustration bubbling over. The refs slapped him with the Flagrant 1, and Wemby, cool as you like, drained the resulting free throw.
“Not Surprising” – Wemby’s Honest Read on Draymond
You’d think a young player getting shoved like that might be animated, maybe even a little fired up. But Wemby? Nah. His reaction was pure ice. To say “It’s not surprising” after Green’s antics during a 23-point deficit speaks volumes. It’s almost like he expected it, like this kind of behavior from Green is just par for the course. What does that say about Green, or even the Warriors’ current state, when opponents aren’t even surprised by such a display?
That’s all we’ve got for now on this one, folks. It’s clear there’s more to unpack as this situation develops.
