VIDEO: Draymond Green clips Mike Conley's injured face
Decide for yourself: Was it intentional?
During the second quarter of Game 2 between the Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies, point guard Mike Conley stumbled to the ground after a failed drive through traffic.
Conley appeared to have called timeout (of which was awarded to him), but Warriors forward Draymond Green reached in anyway to try dislodge the ball. In doing so, Green clipped Conley's injured face.
Conley stayed down on the ground for a while, before gingerly returning to the bench. He checked in on the next possession.
Green was adamant after the game: it was an accident.
Draymond Green says he would never intentionally hurt anyone and calls out the "keyboard warriors" out there on Twitter.

Draymond Green: "Just bc the guy has a mask on his face doesn't change the fact that you go after the ball."
