SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was ejected from Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers after picking up two technical fouls in the second quarter. Green now has 14 technicals on the season — two more and he will receive an automatic one-game suspension.
The first technical came after Green was whistled for a foul under the basket with 5 minutes, 56 seconds left in the second quarter. Green exchanged some words with official Tyler Ford and earned the technical. The second technical came a few seconds later after Green felt he was pushed by Lakers center Dwight Howard. Official Marat Kogut whistled Green for trying to trip Howard after Green fell to the ground. Watching Green yell about the call from behind the play, Ford gave Green his second technical and ejected him from the game. Green continued yelling at the officials for a few moments before walking off the floor and directly back to the Warriors’ locker room.
Green, who missed the previous two games because of a pelvic contusion, finished with 2 points, 4 assists and 4 fouls in 10 minutes before being ejected.
