SAN FRANCISCO — Klay Thompson and Draymond Green were ejected from the
Warriors’ game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night
following a heated altercation with Jaden McDaniels.

Thompson and McDaniels got in a shoving match two minutes after tip-off
when Thompson put a hand on McDaniels on a Minnesota miss and McDaniels
fired back by pulling on Thompson’s jersey, ripping it.

Both teams came into separate the two. That’s when Green entered the
fray and grabbed Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert and put him in a
headlock, pulling him away from the scrum. Green was issued a Flagrant 2
foul and Thompson and McDaniels were issued double technical fouls, all
were ejected.

This is Green’s second ejection of the year, his first coming in the
Warriors’ loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers at home on double technical fouls.

Already without Steph Curry due to a knee injury, the Warriors played on
without their Big 3. Tuesday’s game is the Warriors’ second in-season
tournament game and first on their home court.

Green will be out for a while. Hopefully just a couple of games, but it
sounds like it could be longer, maybe quite a bit longer.

There doesn't seem to be any sense that Klay will be suspended, fortunately.

Green's reputation definitely plays into this, although I don't really
think that's fair.
