HOUSTON -- Some have questioned whether Houston's Amen Thompson is a dirty player after Warriors star Jimmy Butler III was injured in a scary fall during Game 2 when the Rockets guard took out the legs of the Golden State Warriors forward on a hard foul.
Thompson's teammate, Dillon Brooks, had other thoughts on the subject when asked about it Friday ahead of Saturday's Game 3.
"No, I think the dirty player is Draymond [Green], giving him a little push as regular basketball players do," Brooks said. "And Jimmy's fighting in the air for a rebound and stuff happens. Amen's not a dirty player. He has [nothing] to do with being a dirty player."
