Draymond Green doesn’t save all his complaining for on the court.
After the Warriors’ 126-113 loss to the Spurs on Wednesday night, Green vented that Burke had unfairly characterized his matchup with San Antonio star Victor Wembanyama.
While Green credited Wembanyama for his physical he thinks the French star is being given preferential treatment.
“She will always ignore things happening to me and only half mention the good,” Green replied to a post on the social media site Threads. “And take shots when they are available. Been that way for a while…”
A fan had pointed out that Wembanyama, who is roughly a foot taller than Green, was fouling him.
“Doris Burke, completely ignoring the fact that Wemby has his arm completely wrapped around Green,” one fan @fs.kid said in a post on Threads.
“I can’t believe I’m wishing that I was hearing Bob Fitzgerald call this game.
Green had a strong performance with Stephen Curry out due to injury, putting up 17 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists, despite being significantly undersized by the behemoth Wembanyama.
The Warriors blew a 16-point lead in the game, though, as they fell further into the Play-In Tournament in a crowded Western Conference.
Burke has been critical of Green in the past, including during last year’s playoffs, when she said Green gets too long a leash from NBA referees.
“How many guys get this kind of leash?” Burke said in May of 2025. “Over the history of Draymond’s career, it feels like there’s been a double standard.”
Burke was removed by ESPN as an A-team broadcaster for primetime games after being replaced by Tim Legler.
