NBA: Here’s why Draymond Green was ejected; Watch his dancing reaction to being tossed

Draymond Green won’t be playing the second half of Golden State’s game at Memphis on Sunday.

The Warriors forward was called for a flagrant 2 foul, which is an automatic ejection from the game.

Golden State trailed the Grizzlies 61-55 at halftime.

Here is the play in question. Green made the most of his exit, as you can see by the replay.

Green originally was called for a foul on Brandon Clarke with 1:18 left in the second quarter. Officials reviewed the play where Green had hold of Clarke’s jersey after a missed layup. Clarke went down on his stomach, though it appeared Green tried to help hold him up as Clarke hit the court.

Officials took their time reviewing the play as Memphis fans chanted “Throw him out!” Then they determined Green committed a Flagrant 2, sending him to the locker room with six points, four rebounds, three assists and five turnovers in 17 minutes.
