Warriors' Draymond Green expected to avoid punishment after ejection

On Monday, Draymond Green was removed from the Golden State Warriors' 116-113 victory over the Phoenix Suns. The veteran player faced two technical fouls at the start of the third quarter. The first technical came after a physical altercation with KaKhan Muluach when Green jumped up to retrieve a rebound that Muluach had knocked away.

Green grabbed Muluach and threw him to the ground. Just moments later, Green faced a second technical after Dillon Brooks confronted him over the earlier incident. The shoving match between the two players resulted in a double technical, with each receiving one. Green was subsequently ejected from the game. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the NBA does not anticipate further disciplinary action against Green.

"As far as Draymond Green is concerned, I can report I do not expect him to have any more discipline on that," Charania reported. The Warriors are undoubtedly relieved that Green won't face any additional punishment. He has been instrumental for the team in the season's opening games and will remain a valuable player for the team as they look to build on their strong start, which currently stands at 5-3.
