Warriors striker Draymond Green was sent off at the end of the first half of Thursday night’s game against the Knicks.
With 1:04 left in the second quarter and Golden State losing 60-55, Green, 30, seemed to be screaming in the center of James Wiseman when he was assessed a technical foul. It was his second game, which resulted in his immediate expulsion.
As Green walked towards the sideline, the Warriors’ coaches contested the decision, trying to point out that Green was talking to Wiseman – not a referee.
Draymond gets kicked out for yelling at James …. his own teammate, come on, let’s do better

With Green now out, Golden State must do for his defensive intensity, playing ability and directives on the court. 17 minutes before being released, Green had three points and eight assists.
At the break, the Warriors lost to the Knicks, 63-57.
