Green questions broadcast treatment
In the matchup, Green scored 17 points while taking on primary defensive responsibility against Wembanyama, who finished with 26.
The game featured multiple physical exchanges, including one instance where Wembanyama wrapped his arms around Green during a sequence.
After a fan called out the commentary from Burke on ESPN, Draymond Green replied directly on the Threads app.
"She will always ignore things happening to me and only half mention the good. And take shots when they are available. Been that way for a while," Green wrote.
