Warriors’ Draymond Green accuses NBA of ‘agenda’
After the referees announced Green’s technical, Green was so heated that Steph Curry — in street clothes because of his Grade 1 hamstring strain — walked over to midcourt to calm him down. Steve Kerr removed Green from the game to prevent the possibility of more penalties. Assistant coach Jerry Stackhouse and director of sports medicine and performance Rick Celebrini were each seen chatting with Green on the bench at various points.
“He had gotten pretty upset and I just didn’t want him to get another technical, so I took him out at that point,” Kerr said. “I know he’s going to have to be careful now … He’s going to have to stay composed. Obviously we need him. And I’m confident that he will, because he knows the circumstances.”
