Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors gets into a verbal altercation with a fan during a game against the New Orleans Pelicans on November 16, 2025 in New Orleans, Louisiana. 

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Golden State forward Draymond Green went nearly chest-to-chest with a fan during the Warriors' 124-106 road victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday night.

“He just kept calling me a woman. It was a good joke at first but you can't keep calling me a woman,” Green said, clarifying later that the fan was calling him “a woman's name.”

“I got four kids and one on the way," Green added. "Just don't be disrespectful.”

The fan, who identified himself as Sam Green, 35, of New Orleans, was wearing a black polo with a Pelicans logo on it. He was standing and cheering after Draymond Green had been called for a shooting foul while guarding Pelicans forward Herb Jones.
