Steve Kerr: Draymond Green ‘Deserved’ Ejection

Despite the Warriors getting a much-needed victory over the Magic, fans aren’t making the win the focal point of Golden State’s night. Surprise, surprise, it is on Draymond Green.

Four minutes into the game, fans witnessed the veteran forward get two technicals, which led to his ejection. He kept arguing with the referees and was sent immediately to the locker room; not even his teammates, like Stephen Curry, could calm him down.

After Green went back to the locker room, Steve Kerr and Curry were visibly upset. Curry was seen shaking and holding his head, trying to comprehend why Green had done what he had.

The frustration is understandable, given that the Warriors are barely holding onto the final spot in the Play-In Tournament and were already without Jonathan Kuminga for the game. Kerr said he was dealing with soreness in his left knee.

This made their job of winning Wednesday’s game more challenging, and everyone could tell the team wasn’t happy. It even bled over to the post-game press conference, where their head coach was asked about Green’s ejection.

Kerr said Green deserved to be ejected and wasn’t masking his feelings towards the situation.

The body language definitely wasn’t positive, but he said Draymond “will bounce back.”

What a wild night for the Warriors, as they are only a game ahead of the Rockets.
