You may never see a worse ejection.
At the end of the first half of Thursday’s game vs. the Knicks, Draymond Green was tossed after receiving his second technical foul of the evening. The problem? He was thrown out for yelling at teammate James Wiseman.
We can only assume the official misunderstood Green’s ire to be directed at him. Green appeared to be clearly frustrated with his rookie teammate, who did not seal off his man in the post, leading to Green’s entry pass leading to a turnover. Green being yelling at Wiseman as they ran back on defense, and it continued until he was ultimately tossed.

Green and the other Warriors players and coaches looked around in confusion, with Steve Kerr even inquiring as to if he could challenge the call, which he could not. Green had eight first half assists before being tossed.
It stands to reason that the technical is likely to be rescinded by the league on Friday.
