As the Golden State Warriors have a loaded injury report, the latest update on Draymond Green off an embarrassing moment doesn't bode well.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has offered an apology to Charles Barkley for a comment he made during a recent appearance on Inside the NBA.

Green received some major backlash for taking a shot at Barkley’s twilight tenure with the Houston Rockets, saying “I think the goal is just to not look like you in the Houston Rockets uniform,” while discussing his own career twilight.

During the latest episode of his podcast, Green provided some clarity on his comment and apologized for any perceived disrespect, which he said wasn’t his intention.

“I wan to provide a little bit of clarity. … The reason that I would even say that is what Chuck makes fun about in his career is actually the last 2 years in Houston. ‘I was going to get that free money.’ That’s what he says.

Everybody tried to make it like this whole ‘Ah man Draymond think he better than Chuck.’ The disrespect ain’t the intent. So if that’s the way it’s viewed as public disrespect, I can gladly publicly apologize. Disrespect wasn’t my intent.”
