Warriors star Draymond Green ejected after throwing Khaman Maluach down, getting into scuffle with Dillon Brooks

Draymond Green picked up his first ejection of the season on Monday night after he got into it with Dillon Brooks at the Chase Center.

The incident started after Green and Phoenix Suns center Khaman Maluach got tangled up in the lane during their matchup on Monday. That sparked the entire altercation in the third quarter. Maluach appeared to shake Green off and knock him to the ground early in the period, which left him wide open for a pass in the lane.

Green, clearly upset, jumped up immediately and grabbed Maluach as he was going up for the layup. Green kept going and threw Maluach down to the court.

Though things stopped for a moment after that, but Brooks came running in to confront Green. The two got into it briefly under the basket before they were eventually separated.

Green was hit with two technical fouls and ejected, the first for throwing Maluach down and the second for his altercation with Brooks, who also received a technical foul for his role in the incident. It marked the first ejection of the season for Green, and the 23rd of his regular season career.

Green finished the night with four points and four rebounds. The 36-year-old is in his 15th season in the league this fall.
