Draymond sends condolences to KAT but oddly defends his podcast originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Warriors forward Draymond Green is standing by his podcast after he floated a conspiracy theory about why New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns didn’t play due to personal reasons in Tuesday’s game between the teams at Madison Square Garden.

Following the Warriors’ 121-119 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday night at Barclays Center, Green addressed his comments made on Wednesday’s episode of “The Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis,” where he said Towns missed the game because he didn’t want to face Golden State wing and former teammate Jimmy Butler.

Green was asked by a reporter after Thursday’s game if he had seen the reaction to his comments and if he knew that Towns said he missed the game so he could be with family following the tragic death of a close friend, Sarah Holtzman (h/t The New York Post).

“Oh man, that’s unfortunate,” Green told reporters in Brooklyn. “I’m sorry to hear that. That sucks. But my comments that I made was what I heard, was this and that’s what I heard. So I do send my well wishes to him and his family. It’s inevitable. We all experience death in one way or another and we’ll all experience it in the same way one day. So, it’s unfortunate and you never wish that on anybody.

“But the ‘Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis’ must go on. I definitely wish him well and wish their family well in grieving because we all go through that and it’s never easy for anyone. But the ‘Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis’ will go on.”

Q “You seen reaction to your KAT comments [that he ducked game v Warriors]? Were you aware of circumstances?”

Draymond “No”

Q “He was at funeral for family friend”
