According to Spotrac, Green has received 18 ejections since he entered the NBA back in 2012. When it comes to the first seven ejections of his career, Green was tossed from games in which Curry was actively playing.

The first instance in which Green was ejected while Curry was inactive came on Nov. 11, 2019. Curry was dealing with a broken hand at the time. Green ended up receiving a pair of technical fouls during that contest. Ironically enough, that game came against Gobert when he was a member of the Utah Jazz.

Following that incident, Green’s next four ejections came in games in which Curry wasn’t playing. Green was also ejected on Jan. 4, 2020 (vs. the Pistons), Feb. 27, 2020 (vs. the Lakers), Feb. 20, 2021 (vs. the Hornets), March 20, 2022 (vs. the Spurs), and Jan. 4, 2023 (vs. the Pistons). If you count Green’s ejection on Tuesday, seven of his last 11 ejections took place in games that Curry wasn’t playing in.

    according to the in season tournament ad,
    Green was supposed to be the one “not afraid to do the dirty job”.
    the scrip was clear, no surprise

      The options I can see:

      1. Coincidence

      2. Draymond doesn’t want to play without Steph

      3. Steph in a jersey is the calming force that keeps Draymond’s anger from reaching critical mass

      4. Draymond is in love with Steph and gets ejected as part of an elaborate mating ritual

      I’m leaning towards number 2 but I wouldn’t take 4 off the table

    Nobody should forget that 2019-20 season when Klay and Curry were injured, great leader Draymond literally quit on the season/team playing only 43 games that year. He even admits it later the following year saying he wasn’t interested in playing because Steph and Klay weren’t there.

    I feel like “six of his last ten” would have been a better term. Seven of his last eleven does nothing for me.

    So games his team needs him to step up and play a bigger role than usual. Instead hits the showers early, sounds like draymond.

    Isn’t 2019 the season Draymond talks about on JJ Reddicks podcast about it being tough to go out and play meaningless games? I can definitely see him trying to get himself ejected if that’s the case
