Draymond Green Gets Himself Ejected In First Quarter For Arguing With Ref

Draymond Green is good … at being a distraction. 

Back to his old hijinks, Draymond Green got himself ejected in the first quarter of Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic.

Green, 34, received a double technical for barking at NBA official Ray Acosta.

The fuss came after Acosta called a foul on Green, who guarded Magic star Paolo Banchero. And not wanting to get punished by Banchero, Green saw his way out of the contest …

Draymond Green went at Acosta, prompting one technical, and kept going at the official. Warriors players had to intervene to cool off their veteran player, to no success.

Stephen Curry and Chris Paul appeared irked as Green hounded on. 

As he walked back to the bench, Green hurled what appeared to be highly distasteful remarks, giving Acosta the green light to kick out the diva player.

WATCH:

Steph Curry looked almost emotional from Green's ejection, seemingly fed up with Draymond (like the rest of us).

Coming into the game, the Warriors already missed ascending center Jonathan Kuminga (left knee soreness).

The incident came less than a day since Draymond caught flack for hooking an opponent's neck during a game.

As we wrote on Tuesday night, Green is an uncontrolled mess who's both a danger to opposing players and his team.

Adam Silver and the NBA's lack of accountability encourage Green to keep acting out — setting a bad precedent for fellow players.

The Warriors vet is becoming a pain in the ass for Golden State, at a time when the 10th-seeded Western team fights for postseason seeding.

As Green has proven by now, the guy has no interest in changing his volatile behavior. Two suspensions this season haven't made an impact on his antics; it's only a matter of time before Silver issues another punishment, which won't amount to much.

The Warriors must once again lean on Steph Curry to deliver the team to victory. Then again, less Draymond Green only sounds like a positive.
