SAN FRANCISCO \u2014 Golden State forward Draymond Green<\/a> was ejected late in the first half of the Warriors’\u00a0123-114 victory\u00a0over the Utah Jazz on Saturday night after consecutive technical fouls for arguing with officials.<\/p>\n

Green apparently thought there should have been a 3-second call and was ejected with 2:25 left in the second quarter. He was tossed for the second time in his last four home games \u2014 he sat out Friday’s lopsided loss to Oklahoma City to rest.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe won the game, that’s all we care about, that’s all he cares about,\u201d Stephen Curry said. \u201cI know he’d rather be out there. I don’t know what he said to the ref but I didn’t think it was … the consensus in the locker room was it wasn’t enough to get thrown out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also during this stretch, Green left the bench following a heated exchange with coach Steve Kerr during a third-quarter timeout Dec. 22 against Orlando and then went to the locker room on his own to cool down.<\/p>\n

Green now has nine technicals this season, and would receive an automatic one-game suspension upon reaching 16. He had eight points, three rebounds and two assists in 12 minutes of action.<\/p>\n

Kerr said he didn’t hear what Green said but called the ejection \u201ca quick one,\u201d saying it seemed official Kevin Cutler quickly decided to toss Green.<\/p>\n

\u201cI assume it was something that Kevin just wasn’t going to listen to,\u201d Kerr said.<\/p>\n

Kerr said the Warriors need Green to be smart with his emotions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need Draymond and I want him out there. I think he might be up to about nine techs,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cWe\u2019re not halfway through the season yet, so long way to go. We need him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN FRANCISCO \u2014 Golden State forward Draymond Green was ejected late in the first half of the Warriors’\u00a0123-114…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":387612,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,459,82],"class_list":["post-387611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387611","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=387611"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387611\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/387612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=387611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=387611"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=387611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
