When asked if Marcus Smart’s dive that injured Stephen Curry was a dirty play, Draymond Green acknowledged that it was “maybe unnecessary.” However, Green wouldn’t go as far as to say the play on the loose ball was dirty.
“I’d expect Marcus Smart to make that play, he plays hard,” Green said. “I can’t call that a dirty play as unfortunate as it is. If it was a dirty play, I would have went and dove into his head. I had a pretty great look on the play, I was right up top. Maybe unnecessary, but that’s the most I can call it.
