Draymond Green stole the headlines once again during the duel between the Golden State Warriors and the Orlando Magic. The power forward was expelled from the game before four minutes of the first quarter had passed for angrily arguing with referee Ray Acosta for a foul by Stephen Curry on Paolo Banchero.
After a day of reflection, the four-time NBA champion He declared on the most recent episode of The Draymond Green Show podcast that the judge made the right decision in giving him his fourth expulsion of the season. After Green’s departure, Curry could not contain his emotions and was visibly affected by the little control his teammate has.
“(The expulsion) cannot happen.” “I said what I said, I deserved to be ejected at that point,” Green said. “If I’m totally honest with you all, I tried to turn my body towards the bench, but I said what I said a little too soon before I turned, but yeah, that can’t happen.”
This year, Green has missed 21 games due to two separate suspensions. In November, during a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, he choked Rudy Gobert and was given a five-game ban by the league. Then, in December against the Phoenix Suns, he punched Jusuf Nurkic and the NBA suspended him indefinitely, but reinstated him after 16 games.
