Report: Danny Green Got Drug Tested After Insane Dunk vs. Atlanta Hawks

Published by

Los Angeles Lakers Danny Green had an eye-popping dunk in Sunday’s game versus the Atlanta Hawks.

Turns out, the dunk was so impressive that the the NBA thought it warranted a drug test for the 32-year-old veteran.

This isn’t the first time this season that a Lakers player has faced a drug test this year for somewhat amusing reasons.

This offseason, Alex Caruso was called in for a drug test after a photoshopped image that increased the size of his muscles went viral.

Green has never been known as a premier dunker, but that doesn’t mean the two-time champion doesn’t have a healthy amount of bounce.

Still, it’s likely that Green will return to what he has done best for the Lakers so far this season: shooting the 3-ball. So far this season, Green is hitting 42.2 percent of his shots from deep.
