The Minnesota Timberwolves are conducting an investigation following allegations that some fans made racially charged comments towards Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green during the Western Conference NBA semifinals game. One fan was ejected for violating the NBA's Fan Code of Conduct, while another left voluntarily. The Timberwolves emphasized their commitment to maintaining an inclusive environment and denounced racist behavior. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr expressed disappointment over the incident, deeming it 'ugly and unacceptable,' and praised the Timberwolves for their response to the situation.
The Timberwolves and Target Center are firmly committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful and safe environment for all. Racist, hateful or threatening behavior has no place at our games or in our community.
When asked for comment, a spokesperson for the Golden State Warriors shared with ABC News video of Warriors head coach Steve Kerr on Friday responding to what he called an 'ugly and unacceptable' incident involving Green.
