BREAKING: Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was ejected in a shocking turn of events during the game against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night, receiving back-to-back technical fouls just minutes into the second quarter. This incident leaves the Warriors, trailing 48-38 at the time, without their key player for the remainder of the match.
The ejection unfolded rapidly with 10:45 left in the second quarter when Green blocked a shot from Suns guard Collin Gillespie. The two players exchanged words as they moved up the court, escalating tensions. Moments later, while Stephen Curry was making a transition three-pointer at the 10:39 mark, Green collided with Gillespie, prompting the first technical foul from official Pat Fraher.
Frustrated by the call, Green lashed out at Fraher, mimicking the technical signal and following him towards the scorer’s table while continuing to argue. His actions resulted in a second technical foul, leading to his disqualification as team security escorted him off the court.
This marks Green’s first ejection of the season and the 21st regular-season ejection of his career. The Warriors, currently struggling with a record of losing nine of their past 14 games, now face a daunting challenge without their starting power forward and defensive anchor for the rest of the game.
The impact of Green’s absence is significant for the Warriors, who are battling to regain momentum in a critical part of the season. Fans and analysts alike are watching closely as the team navigates this setback.
What happens next? Warriors fans are left anxiously awaiting updates on how the team will adjust without Green, whose leadership on and off the court is crucial for their success. Stay tuned as the game unfolds and further updates are expected soon.
