Draymond Green’s return to the Warriors after missing two games didn’t last long. Green was ejected with 5:45 remaining in the second quarter, ending his night against the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Golden State forward was battling with Lakers center Dwight Howard which led into an argument between Green and referee Tyler Ford. The official tagged Green with a technical foul.
On the next possession, Green got tangled up with Howard after a hard screen and was quickly assessed his second technical foul, triggering an ejection from the game. Green stormed off the court towards the Golden State locker room visibly upset.
The former Defensive Player of the Year ended his night with four assists, two points, a rebound, a steal and three turnovers in 10 minutes against the Lakers.
Green leads the NBA in ejections and is also tied for the lead in technicals at 14 with Houston’s Russell Westbrook. Green is only two technical fouls away before he receives a one-game suspension for reaching 16 on the season.
