Steph Curry goes viral for his reaction to Draymond Green ejection
Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry had the look of a scorned lover on Wednesday when Draymond Green got himself ejected.
Green was tossed just three minutes into the Warriors’ 101-93 win over the Orlando Magic at Kia Center in Orlando, Fla.
Green received a technical for arguing with referee Ray Acosta after the official had called a foul on Warriors swingman Andrew Wiggins. The foul led to a Paolo Banchero and-1 to tie the game 6-6.
The fiery Warriors forward continued to have words with Acosta and appeared to use some colorful language as he walked away from the official Green was hit with a second tech, which meant an automatic ejection.

Green served a 12-game suspension earlier this season for on-court flare-ups similar to Wednesday’s incident.
Fans on X couldn’t help but notice how disappointed Curry looked after Green was thrown out of the ballgame. The ejection was Green’s fourth of the season.

Green had just avoided any serious infractions during the Warriors’ last game against the Miami Heat. The former DPOY was seen grabbing Heat guard Patty Mills by the throat. The play was deemed a common foul.
Golden State is in the midst of a heated play-in race against the surging Houston Rockets, who have now won 10 straight games. The Warriors don’t need any more distractions that may take away from their chances of making the postseason.
Curry didn’t have the most efficient night against the Magic. But he did hit the dagger to seal the victory for the visitors.
