The Golden State Warriors' Draymond Green believes there is an "agenda" against him after his latest reprimand versus the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Green was handed a fifth technical foul of the postseason for aiming a flailing arm at Naz Reid after the Minnesota player had fouled him in the second quarter of Thursday's game, which the Wolves won 117-93 to tie the teams' Western Conference semifinals series at 1-1.

That leaves the Warriors forward just two technicals short of receiving a one-game suspension, but Green is adamant he is being mistreated.

"The agenda to try to keep making me look like an angry black man is crazy," Green said to reporters.

"I'm sick of it. It's ridiculous.

"I'm not an angry black man. I am a very successful, educated black man with a great family, and I am great at basketball and great at what I do."

Warriors coach Steve Kerr decided to substitute Green for Jimmy Butler and admits the player will have to be careful in upcoming games. 

"I could see he had gotten pretty upset," Kerr said,

"I just didn't want him to get another technical, so I took him out at that point and I know he's going to have to be careful now that he's two techs away.

"He's going to have to stay composed. Obviously, we need him, and I'm confident that he will because he knows the circumstances."

Green is ranked second for the most ejections in NBA history with 22, and Butler believes his reputation can count against him at times.

He said: "I thought he got fouled and was maybe trying to sell the call.

"Every time he does something, it's always a review and always ends up being something of that nature."

Another incident occurred on the night concerning Green, as a fan was ejected from Target Center for directing a racial slur at the Warriors player.

Green was on a stationary bike in the tunnel near the Warriors' bench in the fourth quarter when he had a back and forth with the fan, with authorities escorting the fan out of the arena.
