Draymond Green Ejected After Receiving Two Technical Fouls for Ref Dispute
Draymond Green, the Golden State Warriors’ forward, has been ejected for the 25th time in his NBA career. This incident occurred during a game against the Utah Jazz, where Green received two technical fouls.
Details of the Ejection
The ejection took place on a Saturday night with approximately 2:30 left in the second quarter. Green was defending Jazz player Kyle Filipowski when he appealed to the officials regarding a potential three-second violation against Filipowski.
As Green continued his dispute, Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen successfully scored a basket. In response to Green’s ongoing argument, the referees issued him a technical foul. Shortly thereafter, he received another technical foul, leading to his ejection from the game.
Recent Ejections
This ejection marks a notable event in Green’s career, as it is his second ejection in just seven games. Earlier this season, he had a heated exchange with coach Steve Kerr during a victory over the Orlando Magic on December 22, which led him to leave the bench prematurely.
- Total Ejections: 25 in his NBA career
- Recent Eject: Second time in last seven games
- Opponent: Utah Jazz
- Event Time: 2:30 left in the second quarter
The Golden State Warriors now face the challenge of continuing their performance without Green, known for his intense defensive skills and leadership. This incident adds to the ongoing narrative of Green’s passionate, yet contentious, style of play.
