BREAKING: Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was ejected just minutes into the second quarter against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night, following back-to-back technical fouls. This incident, which occurred at 10:39 PM, has sent shockwaves through the game, leaving the Warriors without their defensive anchor for the remainder of the match.
Green’s ejection came after an altercation with Suns guard Collin Gillespie. The situation escalated when Green blocked Gillespie’s shot with 10:45 left in the quarter, leading to an exchange of words as they moved up the court. Shortly thereafter, Green collided with Gillespie during a transition play, prompting the first technical foul from official Pat Fraher.
Frustrated by the call, Green confronted Fraher, mimicking the technical signal in a heated display. His continued outburst directed at the official resulted in a second technical foul, leading to his ejection as team security escorted him to the locker room. This marks Green’s first ejection of the season and the 21st regular-season ejection of his career.
At the time of the ejection, the Warriors were trailing 48-38, adding pressure to an already struggling team that has lost nine of their last 14 games. Green’s absence could have significant implications for the Warriors as they attempt to regain footing in the season.
This developing situation highlights the ongoing challenges faced by the Warriors, who are now forced to adjust their strategy without one of their key players. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how the team responds in the coming quarters.
Stay tuned for updates on this critical game and the impact of Green’s ejection on the Warriors’ performance.
