Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has called out Sacramento Kings All-Star Domantas Sabonis for not shaking hands after Game 7 (Sports Illustrated). Green expressed his feelings on a postgame podcast, in which he said that he “lost a lot of respect” for Sabonis due to the snub (HoopsHype; CBS Sports).
Sabonis did not shake hands with Warriors players after Golden State won Game 7 against Sacramento, and this action has led Green to criticize the Kings’ big man for not paying respect (ClutchPoints; Audacy). Green’s opinion is that players should deal with losing and still show sportsmanship towards their opponents (CBS Sports).
Despite the controversy surrounding the post-game snub, Sabonis had a strong performance in the recent NBA games, posting an efficient 22 points in Sacramento’s loss (RotoBaller).
