The Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green was ejected from Wednesday’s game against the Magic in Orlando less than four minutes into the match following an altercation with official Ray Acosta.
NBC Sports Bay Area provided a video (Twitter link) of the incident. Green wasn’t directly involved in the play that led to the argument; he was disputing a foul called on Andrew Wiggins against Orlando’s Paolo Banchero, who made an and-one layup with 8:24 remaining in the first quarter.
As Green continued to voice his complaints to Acosta, several Warriors players, including Stephen Curry, Chris Paul, and Brandin Podziemski, approached him.
Despite heading back to the bench, Green directed some choice words at the official, resulting in his second technical foul and an automatic ejection from the game.
