Different generations, same rivalry. Draymond and Yaxel had to get their shots in 🤣 (via @warriors) https://t.co/2qLRTG Via @NBAonPrime on X

What happened: The exchange came during Golden State's media-day session ahead of the 2026-27 season. It followed Monday's scrimmage where Green praised Lendeborg after a dunk.

Why it matters: Green opens Year 15 with Curry as the veteran core. Lendeborg's early work with veterans offers an early read on rookie rotation fit.

What to watch: Golden State continues camp ahead of preseason. Exhibition minutes will clarify rotation roles.
