Draymond Green Questions NBA Discipline After Wembanyama Elbow

Victor Wembanyama was ejected for an elbow to Naz Reid, but the NBA did not suspend him or fine him beyond the automatic flagrant-two penalty. Draymond Green addressed the incident on his show, questioning whether star players face different disciplinary standards and even suggesting the Timberwolves retaliate, a notion the piece notes as controversial. The Wolves should focus on playing tough basketball and winning Game 5 without resorting to retaliation, while acknowledging Green’s comments sparked debate about league standards and precedent.

Green seeks payback after Wembanyama dodges NBA punishment in playoffs

Draymond Green ripped Victor Wembanyama and the NBA on his podcast after Wembanyama was ejected but not suspended for elbowing Naz Reid in Game 4, arguing there would have been fines or suspensions if the roles were reversed. Spurs coach Mitch Johnson defended Wembanyama; the NBA opted against punishment, keeping the series tied 2-2.

Warriors at a Crossroads: Curry, Kerr and the Next Chapter

Golden State’s season ended with a 111-96 loss to Phoenix, leaving Curry’s future, Kerr’s coaching status and a reshaped roster at the center of an pivotal offseason. Lingering knee issues for Curry, Jimmy Butler’s ACL injury and the influx of new pieces (Porziņģis, Podziemski) have changed the dynasty’s math, forcing tough decisions on extensions, potential trades, and how to balance short‑term championship aims with long‑term cap realities. The Warriors must decide whether Kerr returns, how aggressively to re-sign Curry and Green, and how to navigate eligibility and value of key role players amid a crowded, high-salaried roster.

Not over yet: Curry fuels Warriors' gritty play-in win

Kerr’s Future in Limbo as Warriors Fight for Play-In Survival

Golden State’s Steve Kerr has not yet decided on a contract beyond this season, even as the 10th-place Warriors push to win the play-in against the Clippers. Kerr wants to stay, and Draymond Green says there’s no better coach for the job, while the front office isn’t seeking a replacement. In the must-win game, Curry, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford will log limited minutes (Curry projected around the low-to-mid 30s) after recent rest/illness, with Curry optimistic about extending the season and Green stressing tight defensive and game-plan execution for playoff pressure.

Grizzlies Target Poeltl as Giannis-Draymond Talks Roil NBA Trade Market

Memphis, fresh off a Jaren Jackson Jr. deal that created a $28.9M trade exception, is viewed as a potential landing spot for Jakob Poeltl, though Raptors–Kings talks would likely need a third team and Poeltl’s mega contract makes the deal complex; the Bulls could help as a facilitator but must match salary. Meanwhile, Golden State has Draymond Green in active trade conversations with Milwaukee to pursue Giannis, with Miami and Minnesota monitoring Giannis-related scenarios as Utah stays active on Nurkic and other assets. The day features widespread chatter across several teams, including chatter around Ja Morant and other trade targets.}{
