Draymond Green Hit With Early Bench Technical in Warriors’ Opener vs. Lakers

The quick whistle renews concern about his technical count under the NBA's automatic-suspension rule.

Overview

  • Green was assessed a technical roughly 5:53 into the first quarter of Golden State's season opener in Los Angeles.
  • The call came while he was on the bench after yelling about a non-call, as noted by reporter Nick Friedell.
  • Larry Brown Sports reported referee Ed Malloy issued the technical following complaints about a missed basket interference.
  • There was no ejection or new suspension stemming from this single technical foul.
  • Green finished last season with 18 technicals, and Steve Kerr has emphasized the need for his composure given the NBA's 16-tech automatic suspension threshold.
