Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green didn't hide his animosity towards Memphis Grizzlies fans while he was exiting the floor early in Game 2 of their Western Conference semifinals series.
Green left the floor late in the first quarter after he got hit with an elbow to the face that left him bloodied. As he was heading to the tunnel, he flipped the bird to the Grizzlies fans watching.

The Grizzlies vowed to be physical in Tuesday's game, and that was clear right from the start. Warriors guard Gary Payton II also headed to the locker room in the first quarter after a hard foul from Dillon Brooks.
Perhaps Draymond Green is not happy with how physical (and dirty?) the Grizzlies have been and he's just venting out his anger?
Still, Green can expect to be fined for his actions. The NBA doesn't tolerate gestures like that, and a hefty punishment is surely heading to the Warriors star's way. To recall, Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving was slapped with a $50,000 fine after he gave the middle finger to Boston Celtics fans during their first round series.
Flipping the bird aside, though, Warriors fans will hope that the injury to Green is not serious and it won't limit him in his potential return to the team. The same goes for Gary Payton II, who is nursing a left elbow issue.
