Lastly, the forward was ejected less than 4 minutes into a 101-93 victory against the Orlando Magic after getting involved in a lengthy objection laced with profanities against the referees of the game.

In show 95.7 The Game, Steve Kerr talked about the episode, criticizing Green, himself but praising Stephen Curry for his handling of the situation.

"I regret not saying something," Kerr began. "That's definitely my fault, but Draymond knows. He's a grown man. He's got to handle his own business."

Any mention of Steph being culpable is just ridiculous. The way Steph has carried our franchise [and] represented our franchise for 15 years is absolutely ridiculous. He was the first one out there to talk Draymond off and handled it the right way," Kerr praised Curry.

"The reason why Draymond got kicked was because [while he was] walking back to the bench, he muttered an expletive that the refs heard. So, he deserved it. You can't do that. But that's not Steph's fault," he said on the matter.

This was the fourth time Green was ejected from the game this season. He is among distinguished company when it comes to this area. He has the second-most career ejections in NBA history after Rasheed Wallace.
