The Twitter account "NBA Centel" tweeted out a fake statement from Kevin Garnett as they made it out to look that Garnett was asking for Green to throw a few punches at him. The fake tweet called out Draymond Green for punching Poole and pitted him against Kevin Garnett.
Green, being a vocal individual, responded to the tweet and even mentioned Garnett. The tweet itself was deleted as the Warriors forward ended up finding out that it was a misleading tweet in the first place.
However, he found out too late as Garnett had already sent out his response by calling out the misinformation and blaming Elon Musk for it. The fake account can easily mislead people that are too quick to voice out their reactions as the username has the official Twitter check mark.
Before Elon Musk took ownership of Twitter, the official blue check mark signified that it was either a famous individual or a media person using the account. Nowadays, any account can have the official blue checkmark on their account as long as it meets the guidelines and a Twitter Blue subscription.
