Moments after Dillon Brooks was ejected in the first quarter of Game 2 between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Golden State Warriors, Draymond Green went down after taking an elbow to the face from Xavier Tillman.
Green got up with blood on his face and then made his way to locker room. On his way down the tunnel, Green lifted both middle fingers to the Memphis crowd.
The Warriors forward was ejected in Game 1 after a flagrant-foul 2 for hitting Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke in the face.
"That wasn't physical. That was dirty," Golden State coach Steve Kerr said of the first-quarter play during an interview on the TNT broadcast.
Warning: Crude gesture in video.
Green came back to the game in the second quarter after receiving stitches above his right eye and passing concussion protocols, according to the broadcast.
The Warriors power forward was ejected in Game 1 after a flagrant-foul 2 for hitting Brandon Clarke in the face.
The FedEx Forum crowd booed Green during player intros, louder than any of the other Warriors. He was booed again the first time he touched the ball.
Green and Tillman both played college basketball at Michigan State, Green from 2009-12 and Tillman from 2018-20.
