UPDATE: In a shocking turn of events, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was ejected early in the second quarter during a heated game against the Phoenix Suns on January 13, 2024. With 10:45 remaining in the quarter, Green received back-to-back technical fouls, leaving the Warriors without their defensive anchor for the remainder of the game.
The drama unfolded when Green, after blocking a shot from Suns guard Collin Gillespie, exchanged words with him as they moved up the court. Just moments later, while Stephen Curry made a transition three-pointer at the 10:39 mark, Green collided with Gillespie, earning the first technical foul from referee Pat Fraher.
Frustrated, Green confronted Fraher, mimicking the technical call, which prompted a second technical foul as he continued to argue vehemently. Team security swiftly escorted him to the locker room, marking this as Green’s first ejection of the season and the 21st of his career. At the time of the ejection, the Warriors were down 48-38 and struggling, having lost nine of their last fourteen games.
This incident not only highlights Green’s fiery temperament but also places additional pressure on the already struggling Warriors. Fans are now left to wonder how this ejection will impact the team’s performance moving forward.
Stay tuned for updates as this story develops, and fans will be keen to see how Golden State adapts without their star player for the remainder of the game.
