Draymond Green doesn’t save all his complaining for on the court.
After the Warriors’ 126-113 loss to the Spurs on Wednesday night, Green vented that Burke had unfairly characterized his matchup with San Antonio star Victor Wembanyama.
While Green credited Wembanyama for his physical he thinks the French star is being given preferential treatment.
“She will always ignore things happening to me and only half mention the good,” Green replied to a post on the social media site Threads. “And take shots when they are available. Been that way for a while…”
A fan had alleged that Wembanyama, who is roughly a foot taller than Green, was fouling him.
“Doris Burke, completely ignoring the fact that Wemby has his arm completely wrapped around Green,” @fs.kid said in a post on Threads.
“I can’t believe I’m wishing that I was hearing (Warriors play-by-play man) Bob Fitzgerald call this game.”
Green had a strong performance with Stephen Curry out due to injury, putting up 17 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists.
The 29-26 Warriors blew a 16-point lead in the game as they remain stuck in the play-in portion of the Western Conference standings.
Burke has been critical of Green in the past, including during last year’s playoffs. She suggested that referees gave Green more leeway than other players when it came to assessing technicals.
“How many guys get this kind of leash?” Burke said in May of 2025. “Over the history of Draymond’s career, it feels like there’s been a double standard.”
Burke was moved from ESPN’s top broadcast team to its second one before the season, working alongside Dave Pash. She signed an extension with the network at the same time.
