"Hold on man So for all Black Canadian Mans it doesn’t directly affect Us ??" Boucher wrote. "@Money23Green I respect you but We Go through our battles too."

Montreal-raised Boucher, who is one of just two Canadian players on the Raptors team, added he intended the response as a "healthy conversation" and that he is hoping to educate Green about the fact that racism is prevalent in Canada too.

Green caught a lot of heat on social media for his comments, which he made in a chat with Masai Ujiri on Thursday night.
