Draymond Green, along with Warriors teammate Klay Thompson and Minnesota's Jaden McDaniels, was ejected from an NBA in-season tournament game after a brawl erupted within the first two minutes. The altercation began when Thompson and McDaniels engaged in pushing and shoving during a transition. Green intervened by putting Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert in a headlock and forcefully dragging him away for several seconds.
Both Thompson and McDaniels received double technicals, and Green was ejected with a flagrant 2 foul. The score was still 0-0 at the time. Green, known for his aggressive play, now faces potential suspension, marking the 18th ejection of his career, further solidifying his lead among active NBA players in this regard.
