In a heated match against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night, Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors was ejected from the game after picking up back-to-back technical fouls. Green, known for his fiery passion on the court, acknowledged that he deserved to be kicked out of the game.
The incident occurred less than four minutes into the game when Green argued with referee Ray Acosta over a foul called on Stephen Curry. Despite attempts from teammates to calm him down, Green continued to argue and was eventually ejected from the game.
Stephen Curry, the Warriors’ star player, expressed the team’s need for Green to be on the floor and was visibly emotional after the ejection. Warriors coach Steve Kerr agreed that Green deserved the ejection but stated that it did not affect the trust he has built with the team.
This was the fourth ejection for Green this season, with previous incidents also resulting in suspensions. Just the game before, Green was involved in an altercation with Patty Mills of the Miami Heat.
Despite Green’s intensity on the court, his passion and leadership are often seen as assets to the team. The Warriors will have to adjust as they continue their season without Green for the remainder of the game against the Magic. Fans will be eagerly awaiting Green’s return in the next game, hoping to see him back in action and contributing to the team’s success.
