The spirit of MLK Day was in full effect in Memphis.

Phoenix Suns center shocked, suspended for 16 games Jusuf Nurkic in Contest on December 12thGolden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green returned to action against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday.

But he wasn't exactly welcomed, as Griz fans booed the four-time NBA champion the first time he entered a game off the bench. (Related: Sacramento Kings' Mike Brown uses laptop to educate media (and umpires) in complete boss style)

Green played a total of 23 minutes on the court, and the Warriors suffered a 116-107 loss. Draymond had 7 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. Dray also made the three-point shot that provoked the crowd.

However, despite returning to the Warriors, Green was unable to help Dub Nation acquire the…well…Dubs. Without Dray, the Warriors posted a .500 record with 8 wins and 8 losses.

I don't think this should surprise anyone considering Draymond Green's past, but what did surprise me was that the first boos came from Memphis Grizzlies fans… I don't remember Ja Morant booing Ja Morant. he's back.

Lol… Yeah, sports fans always infuriate me, but that’s how it is. I am guilty myself.

I'm always thinking about what's convenient. That's what it means to be a fan.
