The feud between Draymond Green and Tristan Thompson began during Game 1 of the 2018 NBA Finals, graduating to Green denying the Cavs center a handshake after Game 4, telling him “We ain’t cut the same.”
That was just the start of it apparently, with reports surfacing that at an ESPY’s after-party in Los Angeles, Green approached Thompson to apologize for his antics, only to get punched in the face.
According to BOSSIP, the incident occurred at the LA hotspot of Delilah at a private party following the award show on the night of July 18th.
Fellow teammates on both sides LeBron James and Kevin Durant were alleged to have to step in to break it up.
The Big Lead’s Jason McIntyre gave a rundown of the events in a series of tweets.
Finally this story is out there and I can say what I’ve heard about Tristan Thompson punching Draymond Green 2 weeks ago

Draymond went up to apologize to Tristan for what happened after G4 of the finals. TT said ‘nah man’ and Draymond tried again, ‘come on, I didn’t mean it’ and then WHAP, Tristan leveled him with a punch. Draymond didn’t go down.

Draymond Green was not the aggressor, he was trying to make peace. Tristan felt embarrassed by the end of the Finals diss moment and just unloaded. Couple players i spoke here in LA/on social media went with, “about time”
