Warriors' Draymond Warned After 'Angel Reese' Fan Confrontation

Merlin sees Draymond Green handed an NBA warning after he marched into the stands to confront a fan chanting “Angel Reese!” and told reporters, “You can’t keep calling me a woman.” The skirmish, broken up by ushers after a foul on Herbert Jones, matters because it tests player-fan boundaries, the league’s discipline posture, and how quickly security protects both players and fans. Merlin notes coach Steve Kerr’s take — “As long as it doesn't escalate, it's fine” — but also his jab at slow security. With the Warriors 9-6, the team wants focus on wins, not headlines; one more public confrontation could mean fines or reputational cost, so expect both club and league to nudge behavior back to the bench.
