A dejected Stephen Curry was ejected from the Warriors’ Wednesday night game after teammate Jordan Poole missed a shot late in the 122–120 victory over the Grizzlies.
With a little more than a minute left in Golden State’s matchup against Memphis, a wide-open Curry motioned to Poole to pass him the ball. Instead, Poole took a questionable three-pointer—and missed. Curry couldn’t contain his palpable anger and threw his mouthguard while running back on defense. Consequentially, he was issued a technical foul and ejected from the game.
Following the dub, Poole was asked what he read from the eight-time All-Star’s ejection and its consequences. Seemingly unaware Curry’s mouthguard hurl was because of his missed attempt, Poole backed his teammate.
