Knicks hosted the Golden State Warriors, which includes Jimmy Butler, Towns’ former teammate.
Green said he had heard that cities would not go up to Butler.
“Some would say he didn’t play because Jimmy was in the building. I didn’t know, ”Green said at his podcast. “They say Kat didn’t play because Jimmy came into town. You know him and Jimmy had the notorious practice in Minnesota.”
Cities played against Butler earlier this year when Butler was with Miami Heat and fell 44 points.
