Draymond Green Regrets Ejection, Vows to Control Emotions for Warriors Playoff Push
In a recent match against the Orlando Magic, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was ejected from the game for an outburst directed at a referee. Following the incident, Green expressed regret for his actions, acknowledging that his words warranted the ejection and admitting that it was something that “just can’t happen.”
Green shed light on the circumstances leading to the ejection, explaining that he was attempting to turn his body towards the bench before speaking out prematurely. This season alone, Green has been ejected from games on four occasions, bringing his total career ejections to 19, just behind former player Rasheed Wallace.
The incident not only affected Green but also rattled his teammates, with star guard Steph Curry visibly emotional on the sidelines. As the Warriors aim for a play-in berth in the competitive Western Conference, there are lingering concerns about Green’s ability to control his emotions on the court.
Green’s on-court behavior has already led to 17 missed games this season due to suspensions. In his absence, the Warriors have struggled, posting an 11-14 record in games he has not played. Currently sitting in 10th place in the conference standings, the Warriors are facing pressure from the Houston Rockets, who are inching closer to their play-in spot.
With crucial games on the horizon as the season winds down, Green will need to learn from this latest ejection and keep his emotions in check to support his team in their playoff push. As the Warriors rely on his leadership and defensive prowess, Green’s ability to maintain composure could be a deciding factor in their post-season hopes.
