Golden State forward Draymond Green was ejected less than four minutes into the Warriors' game against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night. This marked Green's fourth ejection of the season and the first since his 16-game suspension by the NBA due to a history of misconduct, including an incident where he struck Phoenix center Jusuf Nurkic in the face during a game on Dec. 12.
During the game against the Magic, with 8:24 remaining in the first quarter, Green engaged in a heated argument with referee Ron Acosta following a foul called on his teammate Andrew Wiggins. The situation escalated when Magic forward Paolo Banchero scored a layup on the play and converted the free throw.
