Dennis Schroder has been on a roll of late, picking up fights with some of the best players in the NBA. First, it was Luka Doncic on December 28, a scrap that earned him a three-game suspension. A couple of weeks later, it was a petty squabble with Draymond Green, the king of on-court altercations in the league.

Schroder’s exchange with Green, however, was not hostile. The Warriors comfortably beat the Sacramento Kings in their latest battle on Friday, and at the end of the game, Green was seen having a laugh with his former teammate.
The four-time NBA champion has now revealed that they were quipping about hairstyles. On his podcast, Green spoke about how he found Schroder’s hairstyle — more like, hair line — hilarious.
The German had four braids styled up for the Kings’ match against Golden State. This made Green crack up, and at the end of the game, Schroder came up to give him a piece of his mind.
“If you know anything about Dennis, Dennis is headstrong. So, as we’re walking off the court, Dennis, I think he was projecting because he then stands up to me and says ‘Yo, what you [doing], and I’m like, ‘Dennis, why are you coming to talk to me about hair?'” Green narrated.
“Who let you do that to your head? Like these guys, they don’t like you because they let you do this. And he’s like, No, you need to go bald,” he added.
“These guys, they don’t like you because they let you do this to your hair.”

Green did not let that conversation end there. He did not care about Schroder’s suggestion that he ought to go bald. Instead, he kept probing Schroder, implying that his Kings teammates must not like him if they allowed him to walk onto the court that way.
The Warriors forward then reminded Schroder that his hairline when he first came to the NBA in 2013 was abysmal. So, Green wondered if the former FIBA World Cup MVP had recently made a trip to Turkey to restore it.
The jabs were made in jest, no doubt, coming from two fun personalities. Unlike the scrap with Doncic, this was lighthearted banter between two friends.
Schroder spent just a few months in the Warriors’ uniform between 2024 and 2025 before he was traded away to the Pistons. But it looks like he did forge a bond with those in the Bay during the brief stint.
