The Golden State Warriors will be without Draymond Green for the second half of game one on the road against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Following a review of a hard foul on Memphis forward Brandon Clarke, Draymond Green was assessed a questionable flagrant two foul and was ejected from the contest with 1:18 remaining in the second quarter.
Green appeared to make contact with Clarke’s face and tug on his jersey while he attempted a shot in the paint. Quickly after the foul, Green tried to assist Clarke in getting up off the floor. After a lengthy review, Kane Fitzgerald’s officiating crew made the decision to give Green a flagrant two triggering an automatic ejection.
Following his ejection, Green appeared to be yelling and waving his arms as boos reigned down from the Memphis crowd.
Before making his exit, Green had recorded six points on 2-of-3 shooting from the field with four boards, three assists, three steals and a block in 17 minutes.
