Golden State Warriors veteran forward Draymond Green was assessed a flagrant-1 foul for barreling through San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama from behind during Friday's NBA Cup matchup.
As Spurs guard Dylan Harper hit a corner three to put San Antonio up 45-22 with 6:47 remaining in the second quarter, Green shoved an unsuspecting Wembanyama to the floor while the 7-foot-4 center positioned himself for a potential rebound.
Don't be surprised if the Spurs front office is already on the phone with the league office about Draymond Green clearly targeting Victor Wembanyama tonight. The shove in the back under the basket that drew a Flagrant 1 was just the culmination of multiple cheap, overly physical plays aimed squarely at the face of the league. 📋📞

It's Green's first flagrant foul of the season. The 36-year-old committed three in 68 games last campaign.
However, it isn't the first time the two have spilled bad blood in the NBA Cup. Green and Wembanyama exchanged words and went face-to-face in a similar contest almost one year ago Friday, after the Spurs star's alley-oop slam over the Warriors forward was called off.

Green got the last laugh that night, as the Warriors won 109-108.
