During their heated argument Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers, Draymond Green repeatedly called Kevin Durant ‘a bitch' after he was called out by the two-time NBA Finals MVP in the huddle for not passing him the ball at the end of regulation, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.
Green had a costly turnover versus the Clippers. Durant was clapping at Green to give him the ball, but the rugged defender ignored him and dribbled the ball into traffic, resulting in a turnover.
The Warriors ended up losing in overtime by a final score of 121-116. Both Kevin Durant and Draymond Green exited the locker room quickly and didn't speak to reporters.
Is there trouble in paradise, or is this just a case of two teammates getting confrontational in the heat of a battle? Who knows, but what is certain is that Kevin Durant's upcoming free agency was already going to be a frequent talking point this season, and now it's only going to intensify after what transpired Monday in Los Angeles.
Durant is expected to decline his player option for the 2019-20 season to hit free agency next summer. Some around the league believe the nine-All-Star is going to leave Golden State to embark on a new challenge. Durant has won two-straight Finals MVPs since joining the Warriors in 2016.
