The Warriors forward picked up two technicals in one sequence during a scuffle with the Suns, marking the 31st ejection of his career.
Draymond Green found himself in familiar territory on Monday night, ejected from the Warriors-Suns game after a physical exchange with Phoenix big man Khaman Maluach.
With 10 minutes left in the third quarter, Maluach pushed Green to the floor as Green tried to defend the basket. Green got up, grabbed Maluach, and threw him to the ground, drawing a technical foul. The situation escalated from there as Green then tangled with Suns guard Dillon Brooks, picking up a second technical in the same sequence and an automatic ejection.
It was the first ejection of the season for Green but the 31st of his career, a number that continues to grow the longer he plays. The two technicals also pushed his season total to three and his career total to 182, both figures that reflect a reputation built over fifteen years in the league.
The ejection has reignited the usual debate among fans, with some calling his behavior dangerous and pushing for a suspension. Green has yet to comment publicly on the incident.
