Green, who is suspended for the duration of the 2023-24 NBA season following the game incident, wrote on Instagram that the Fever need a strong player.
“Indiana better invest in an enforcer….NOW!” he wrote in the comments section of the ESPNW post.
Others on social media echoed Green’s sentiments, including Carter, who “liked” X’s post suggesting that the Fever had no one to defend Clark in this situation.
“The Indiana Fever have no hitmen. I guarantee Draymond Green would be a Fed if this happened to Stephen Curry lol. Someone touch Luka like that, PJ, DJJ, someone slide. Don’t they have enforcers? LOL,” Complex’s Kameron Hay wrote to X.
