Draymond Green might have just added some fire to a potential Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors playoff matchup.
During the 2024 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, Green was positioned on TNT’s “ALTCAST,” where he and Charles Barkley provided their own commentary. After Karl-Anthony Towns notched his 40th point late in the fourth quarter, Green took the opportunity to rip the “old” Timberwolves and Towns — who are currently the Western Conference’s No. 1 seed — for how the forward seemingly used to pad his stats on a losing team.
While Towns is a tremendous talent, it holds some merit, given where the Timberwolves used to stand. A lot of those numbers were, in fact, quite empty. Still, it’s a bit wild of Green to say this on a live broadcast that’s supposed to be celebrating the game:
"this is like the old minnesota days, kat got 40, they down 20."

The Warriors are only a few games back of the eighth seed in the West. If Minnesota holds steady at the top and if Golden State makes a late-season charge after the break, Green might have to answer for these comments in the best possible setting — playoff basketball.
