On Wednesday, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Orlando Magic 101–93 on the road before veteran player Draymond Green was sent off after less than four minutes. This is the 34-year-old’s second outrageous act in the past 24 hours that occurred less than five minutes into a game.
After receiving a personal foul early on, Green started yelling at NBA referee Ray Acosta. Things quickly got out of hand when a few plays later, Warriors star Stephen Curry was called for a shooting foul. Green seemed to yell at Acosta in response to the ruling, which prompted the referee to call a technical foul. Green kept screaming in the official’s face despite the whistle. With eight minutes left in the first quarter, he was fouled again, sending him to the locker room.
