Draymond Green suspects Kevin Durant may have blocked his phone number after their falling out in Golden State.

While appearing on Carmelo Anthony's "What's In Your Glass?" podcast, Green said there was a time when he could communicate with his former Warriors teammate only through Instagram direct messages.

"I think there was a time period of where he wasn't trying to say nothin' to me," Green said. "I think there was a time period where my number might have been blocked from his phone. There was a time period where I could only talk to him through Instagram DM, you know what I'm saying? But I ain't never hit him on no like, 'Damn, you got a new number?' or, 'Yo, did you block me?'

"If I can only talk to you on Instagram DM, then that's where I'm gonna talk to you at. Because ultimately, it's your decision on whatever terms we gonna be on. The terms I wanna be on is that you my brother, I love you, I got nothin' but love for you, and we can continue to build our relationship. But if that's not where you're at, I had to respect that."

Green added that Durant reached out to him on Instagram to invite him to appear on an episode of his podcast in April, which prompted Anthony to joke about the Brooklyn Nets star popping up in people's direct messages.

"First of all, KD, you gotta stop that shit, man," Anthony said. "Keep hitting us up on Instagram DMs, bro. Come on, man."

Green recently sat down with Durant on Bleacher Report's "Chips" show to clear the air on their infamous 2018 on-court blowup. Durant said during their conversation that it wasn't the argument itself that led to him leaving the Warriors, but rather the passive response from people within the organization.
