Draymond Green threw another temper tantrum Saturday that led to his getting tossed from the Golden State Warriors’ game against the Utah Jazz.
The Warriors veteran was furious over what he believed was a missed offensive three-second violation late in the first half at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif. With Green spending his energy complaining, Jazz All-Star Lauri Markkanen got himself an uncontested dunk.
Green was quickly assessed a technical foul, but that didn’t calm him down. He continued to berate the officials to the point that he got hit with a second tech, which got him tossed from the contest.

Warriors fans sounded fed up with Green for getting himself thrown out of yet another game. Many voiced out their frustrations on social media.
I speak for everyone when I say we have moved passed the need for Draymond Green

PHX: Ejected
ORL: Ejected himself
OKC: Rest
UTA: Ejected
I'm sick of this guy. He's a detriment to this team at least half the time now
They literally rested Draymond so he could play this game and this is what he does

I see no reason why he should be paid for this game
It’s the second official time Green has been ejected over his last eight games, and the third if you count him running out on the team during a recent game against the Orlando Magic.
The Warriors were able to hold on to beat the Jazz, winning 123-114 without the former Defensive Player of the Year. Green left the game with eight points, three rebounds, and two assists across 12 minutes.
While Steph Curry continues to play at an All-NBA level, the other remaining pieces of the Warriors’ dynasty seem to be on a downturn. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr also recently drew the ire of fans with a recent quote about resetting expectations.
