Celtics guard Thomas: Draymond calling Olynyk dirty player ‘a joke'

Share

On Sunday, Draymond Green didn't hold back when Kelly Olynyk was mentioned.

"Kelly Olynyk is a dirty player, man," Draymond declared on the Dray Day Podcast. "He's dirty; dirty player. I don't respect guys like that."

On Tuesday, Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas responded.

"I mean, I don't know how he can call anybody dirty," Thomas told Masslive.com. "But it is what it is. Everybody's got a comment or something to say about others, I guess.

"It's a joke that he said that. We can't worry about what others are saying or doing."

In Game 3 of the Celtics-Wizards series, Olynyk was involved in a situation that resulted in Washington forward Kelly Oubre getting ejected and subsequently suspended for Game 4.

Over 10 playoff games this year, Olynyk is averaging 8.8 points and 3.0 rebounds over 19 minutes per contest.

"I know he's not like the greatest baskteball player of all-time so maybe you feel like you gotta do that, but ... just dirty. I don't respect that. He dirty," Draymond added. "I don't roll with that, man. Dude dirty ... this dude be out there trying to hurt people.

"I don't rock with bruh like that."
