Draymond Green Expelled As Phoenix Suns Defeated GS Warriors
The Phoenix Suns defeated the Golden State Warriors 119-116, and Draymond Green got kicked off for the third time this season.
In the third quarter, Green, 33, sent Suns center Jusuf Nurkic to the ground with a crumbling arm.
After evaluating the situation, the officials determined that there had been a flagrant foul 2, which results in an immediate expulsion. In addition, he had two technical fouls against the Cleveland Cavaliers and was sent off.
Draymond Green “didn’t intend” to strike Nurkic, and he confessed to him after the game.
“As I turned away from him because he was gripping my hip, I regrettably struck him.”

Before he was ejected, Green had led the Warriors to a 65-60 lead and had recorded two points, two rebounds, and two assists in 17 minutes.
Steve Kerr, the coach of the Warriors, stated,
“Draymond is what we need. We have discussed it with him, and he is aware of it. He needs to figure out how to support his teammates while maintaining composure.” “Draymond remains a very talented player. If we want to be a truly successful team, we need him.”
Golden State suffered their 11th straight loss at Footprint Centre in Phoenix, despite 24 points from Stephen Curry.
For Phoenix, which triumphed for the first time in three games, Devin Booker finished with 32 points and seven assists.
Dallas Mavericks defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, the Sunday NBA Cup winners, in an exciting game that saw eight lead changes.
For the seventh time in a row, Luka Doncic scored thirty points, dished out seventeen assists, and pulled down six rebounds to lead the Mavericks.
In an awful game, the four-time NBA All-Star managed to twist his ankle and cut his mouth, but he remained on the floor.
Doncic declared,
“There’s no way in hell that I’m letting this game end.” It’s your goal to maintain your position on the court when playing against the greatest. This team’s victory was incredible. There are so many men here. Everyone moved to assist. Everybody gave it their all as they played.”
