But that’s what they got against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night at Chase Center.
Green was ejected early in the second quarter after he shoved Suns guard Collin Gillespie during a sequence in which the Warriors forward recorded a blocked shot that led to a Steph Curry 3-pointer.
After Green blocked Gillespie’s shot, he had some words for the young Suns guard and eventually pushed him as they ran down the court.
The referees quickly assessed a technical foul to Green, and when he mimicked giving the ref a technical foul, the 35-year-old was hit with a second tech, earning himself an early shower.

Green had to be restrained by several members of the Warriors’ security team before he finally went to the locker room.
The ejection is Green’s first of the 2025-26 NBA season.
Green finished the game with four points, three rebounds, one assist and one block in eight minutes.
The Warriors will have to try to snap their three-game losing streak without their defensive leader, which is no easy task.
