During the Golden State Warriors vs. Orlando Magic game, Draymond Green was ejected for the fourth time this season, marking his 21st career ejection. Four minutes into the game, Andrew Wiggins’ foul was called by the ref. The Warriors forward lost his composure once more and collided with official Ray Acosta.
Ever before Draymond Green’s extended ban ended in January, the Golden State Warriors have praised his ability to keep his rage under control without going overboard. He would play rough and snarl at referees, but he never went too far with it.
After an argument with referee Ray Acosta, the notoriously belligerent Green was given a double technical and an automatic expulsion. It forced Golden State to continue with an absence of the former Defensive Player of the Year for the remainder of the contest.
“We need him. He knows that. We all know that. So, whatever we need to do to keep him on the floor and be available, that’s what’s got to happen. Especially at this point in the year. It was a tough way to start the game.” Curry responded to NBA reporters post-match.

Kerr stated, “Too bad. It was unfortunate. He deserved it. He will bounce back.” Green was very fortunate that his team was able to pull off a 101-93 win. However, as Kerr mentioned he earned his ejection through his misbehaviour.
The fight for playoffs is very tight and the Warriors might want their star defender to step up and not create trouble for them. Green has been ejected 4 times already this season and should focus on staying calm rather than showing aggression.
Due to two suspensions, Green missed 17 games this season, which has been a huge problem for his availability. Curry, who is usually a stern player on the floor, showed every bit of obvious emotion as he did when he began the game. The Warriors will continue to concentrate on improving their performance while the battle for a postseason berth goes on.
