Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green declined to accept the apology from a fan who made a death threat toward the three-time All-Star on Twitter.

Kellie Rowe of Fox 2 Detroit shared a screenshot from the tweet in question:

Comedian Andrew Polk apologized in a since-deleted tweet, but Green wasn't ready to strike a conciliatory tone:

Draymond Green @Money23Green
Interesting tweet @polksalad let’s make sure this @twitter ban come through https://t.co/jv9Sv1Sog7

Draymond Green @Money23Green
And you could’ve saved your wasted time on that apology @polksalad

Following the Warriors' 118-92 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, Green addressed the threat, telling reporters he wished for Polk to receive help. Sports Illustrated shared his full comments:

While Green indicated he asked Twitter to ban or suspend Polk's service through the social media platform, it would appear Polk deactivated the account.

Green narrowly missed out on a triple-double in Sunday's victory, finishing with eight points, nine rebounds, nine assists and four steals. Golden State now holds a 3-1 series lead on New Orleans and can close things out at home Tuesday in Game 5.
