Draymond Green says he's sorry for kicking Steven Adams in the groin on Sunday night, even though he has stopped just short of saying that he did it on purpose. In a lengthy blog entry that doubles as a "playoff diary" that he posted on The Undefeated on Monday, Green professed his innocence and revealed that he wanted to apologize to the Thunder big man after he kicked him. However, Green writes that he didn't want the pop to Adams' nuggets to ignite a fight on the court, which is why he decided not to issue an apology in the heat of the moment.
Here's an excerpt from Green's blog entry:
Green also stated that the entire thing was an accident, which may be a tough sell since it has happened before:
And additionally, Green said that kicking a guy in the groin is wrong because it could hurt his team and, maybe more importantly, hurt the other guy's chances of reproducing one day:
So was it intentional or unintentional? Well, it's your call. Hurts either way.
As for Green, whether or not he'll be disciplined for the incident in question is expected to be revealed before the end of the day after a group of supposedly serious men gather the facts to determine if his kick was deliberate.
