Draymond Green tackles opponent, brawls with another for 26th career ejection
Draymond Green’s reputation precedes him, and it was on full display Monday night against the Suns. Green was tossed for a double technical after he tackled Khaman Maluach, then got physical with Dillon Brooks after the play — seemingly trying to choke him.

In a heated matchup against the Suns, Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green found himself in the spotlight for a 26th career ejection on Monday night. The incident began when Khaman Maluach collided with Green, leading to an altercation where Green tackled Maluach, then became physically confrontational with Dillon Brooks. The altercation culminated with Green attempting to choke Brooks, resulting in a double technical foul and his ejection from the game.
The physicality of the play, while not excessively violent, was deemed completely unwarranted by observers. This is Green's 26th career ejection, and only three more are required to tie the record held by Rasheed Wallace, who amassed 29 throughout his career. Draymond Green is now on track to join that select group of players. The NBA has yet to comment on the matter, but it is possible that Green may face a suspension.
