Overview
- Early in the third quarter on Monday, Green rose after being knocked down, wrapped Suns center Khaman Maluach and threw him to the floor, drawing a technical that triggered further review.
- Officials then assessed a second technical after Green and Dillon Brooks pushed and shoved, resulting in Green’s ejection roughly two minutes into the second half.
- Golden State recovered without Green to overcome a double-digit deficit and held on for a 116-113 victory with Stephen Curry scoring 34 points and Charles Bassey contributing a career-high 19 off the bench.
- The league has opened a review of the sequence and is expected to consider fines or a suspension, a prospect intensified by Green’s long track record of technicals and his 31st career ejection.
- The skirmish highlighted the physical tenor of recent Suns‑Warriors games and could alter short-term rotations and player availability if the NBA hands further discipline.
