Pelicans Fan Called Draymond Green "Angel Reese", Claims Warriors Star Threatened to Punch Him 

Draymond Green went viral for an altercation with a New Orleans fan on Sunday. The incident occurred with two minutes left in the first half after Green got called for a foul on Herb Jones. According to ESPN, the fan identified himself as Sam Green. He shared details of his altercation with the Warriors star, claiming he called him "Angel Reese."

The fan taunted Green over his stats for the night as the Warriors star had eight rebounds, but was scoreless after going 0-for-7. Reese, one of the WNBA's emerging young stars, is renowned as one of the best rebounders, which led to the courtside heckler using her name to bother Green.

The Warriors star took offense to it and got into the fan's face. Their confrontation didn't last long as officials immediately stepped in after things escalated. According to the fan, Sam Green, Draymond Green used profanity-laced language and threatened to punch him if he continued making Angel Reese taunts.

Here's what the fan said after the altercation (via ESPN):

"I wasn't using profanity, and for him to walk 12 feet off the court to come and get in my face like that, it was a little unnerving."

Sam Green was allowed to stay in his front row seat after a warning from the ushers.
