PHOENIX — A feisty Klay Thompson received his first career ejection Tuesday night after getting into it with Devin Booker in a chippy third quarter of the Warriors’ 134-105 loss to the Phoenix Suns.
Thompson and Booker had been jawing at each other throughout the third quarter before they were slapped with double technical fouls after they bumped chests when play stopped. Thompson then shoved Suns forward Mikal Bridges as he headed toward the Warriors bench. Stephen Curry and assistant coach Chris DeMarco had to hold back an incensed Thompson when the five-time All-Star was assessed a second technical foul and tossed with 6:31 left in the quarter.
It was Thompson’s first career ejection in 759 regular season and postseason games.
