UPDATE: Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was ejected just minutes into the second quarter against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night, receiving two quick technical fouls. This shocking incident occurred with 10:39 left in the quarter, leaving the Warriors to face a major setback as they trailed 48-38 at the time.
The drama unfolded as Green blocked a shot from Suns guard Collin Gillespie and engaged in a heated exchange on their way up the court. Immediately after Stephen Curry made a transition three-pointer, Green collided with Gillespie, prompting official Pat Fraher to issue the first technical foul.
Frustrated by the call, Green confronted Fraher, mimicking the technical signal in protest. As he followed the official towards the scorer’s table, his vocal complaints escalated, resulting in a second technical foul. Security personnel were called to escort Green to the locker room, marking his first ejection of the season and the 21st of his career.
This ejection comes at a critical time for the Warriors, who have struggled significantly, losing nine of their last 14 games. Green’s absence as the starting power forward and defensive anchor will undoubtedly impact the team’s efforts to regain momentum in the game.
The Warriors now face an uphill battle as they attempt to rally without one of their key players. Fans and analysts alike are watching closely, as the outcome of this game could further affect the Warriors’ standing in the league.
Stay tuned for updates as this developing situation unfolds.
