Draymond Green ejected early in Warriors-Suns matchup

Draymond Green was thrown out of a game for the first time this season after he earned two technical fouls in the second quarter of Saturday night’s game against the Suns at Chase Center.

With 10:45 remaining in the second quarter, Draymond Green blocked Suns guard Collin Gillespie on a drive and then began a back-and-forth dialogue with his opponent as the two ran down the court.

After Steph Curry made a quick 3-pointer and was fouled with 10:39 left in the first half, Green whistled for a technical foul by an officiating crew led by Pat Fraher after he appeared to give Gillespie a forearm shove from behind as the two ran downcourt.

Green continued to argue with the officials and was then given a second technical foul. He finished the night with four points in eight minutes, and the Warriors trailed 48-38 at the time.

Green had to be restrained by teammates and team security personnel, before he eventually walked back to the Warriors locker room.

Green earned 13 technicals and one ejection in 68 games last regular season, and added a whopping five more across two postseason series.
