SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Warriors center Draymond Green was ejected two minutes into the third quarter against Phoenix on Monday night for consecutive technical fouls.

Khaman Maluach had pushed Green to the ground in the paint moments earlier and the Golden State star jumped up from beneath and wrapped his arms around the Suns center and threw him to the floor. Dillon Brooks immediately sprinted in to enter the fray and approached Green, and they pushed and shoved. Green put his hand on Brooks' neck, and both received technicals.

It marked Green's first ejection this season and 23rd of his career after he had two last season. He has 182 career technicals, three this season.
