The Timberwolves recently issued a statement on the incident of Draymond Green suffering from racial discrimination during the game.

Minnesota Timberwolves were in big trouble in their second game against the Golden State Warriors, and Draymond Green suffered racially discriminatory rhetoric in the game.

A video recorded during a game shows Green clashing with a fan. According to The Athletic's Marcus Thompson II, the fan was expelled for making racist remarks. The Timberwolves recently issued a statement on the incident.

"Another person identified by surrounding spectators who made racial discriminatory remarks against Greene, who was identified by surrounding audiences, left on his own before the venue security staff confirmed his identity. The team is continuing to investigate and may take the initiative. One step. "

" The Timberwolves and the Target Center are firmly committed to creating an inclusive, respectful and safe environment for all. Racism, hatred or threatening behavior has no place in our game or community and will not be tolerated under any circumstances." There is absolutely no place in the league that anyone is allowed to make racially discriminatory remarks against anyone, and it is natural for the Timberwolves to expel these fans. Obviously, this is not the first time Timberwolves fans have made inappropriate remarks to Warriors fans during the series. After the first game, Jimmy Butler said that fans must pay attention to their words because he doesn't care about fans booing him.

"It doesn't bother me," Butler said. "People do need to pay attention to words. There is no problem with behaviors like booing, but I can understand calling someone else's name."

In the past few years, it has been common for fans to be expelled from the game for inappropriate speech to players, and this situation should continue.
