Overview
- In the third quarter of Monday’s game at Chase Center, Green wrapped and threw Phoenix center Khaman Maluach to the floor, touching off a scuffle that led to his ejection after review.
- Dillon Brooks ran to protect Maluach and tried to hold Green back, and Green responded by grabbing Brooks’ jersey near his throat before players and officials separated them.
- Officials reviewed the sequence and assessed multiple technical fouls that produced an automatic ejection for Green after he received two technicals.
- Reports conflict about which Suns player drew the double technical with Green, with some outlets naming Dillon Brooks and others naming Devin Booker.
- The episode fits a long pattern of physical confrontations between Green and Brooks and leaves the Warriors without their emotional defensive leader for the rest of the game while league review or further discipline remains possible.
