Draymond Green's alleged NSFW message for ref Ray Acosta amid ejection leaked
Draymond Green was ejected for the 21st time in his career and the fourth time this season during the Golden State Warriors-Orlando Magic game. The Warriors forward failed to keep his cool and mouthed off at official Ray Acosta four minutes into the contest after Andrew Wiggins got called for a foul.
Green was in Acosta's face and was issued a technical foul as a warning. However, the former Defensive Player of the Year didn't stop arguing and was issued a second technical, which led to his ejection.
What Green and Acosta said to each other before the ejection is unclear. However, alleged leaked audio suggested the Warriors forward hurled an NSFW abuse after being tossed out.
"P**sy a** ni**ga," Green allegedly said.
An "X" user named LegendZ, who frequently posts such content, was the one to decode Draymond Green's alleged message for Ray Acosta.
Steph Curry seemingly emotional after Draymond Green's ejection
Steph Curry seemed distraught after Draymond Green got ejected. The Warriors were fighting to avoid the lottery with a 37-34 record entering the game against the Magic. They desperately needed the win, and Green's presence was critical.
Green's ejection on Wednesday jeopardized the Warriors' chances of success, which Curry seemed frustrated about, leading to his uncharacteristically emotional reaction.
Here's the video:
However, Curry came through for his team. The two-time MVP had 17 points and 10 assists. He missed 12 of his 18 field goal attempts, but came up clutch at the end, hitting the dagger 3 to seal the win. Curry faced aggressive defensive schemes all night, particularly from Jalen Suggs, who did an excellent job tagging him.
Draymond Green was the piece the Warriors needed the most because of his playmaking and defense against Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. However, the Warriors executed the majority of their plays perfectly, even without him to get the win.
The Warriors also missed Jonathan Kuminga, so this was arguably one of their most impressive wins. The Warriors have improved to 38-34. They are a game ahead of the 11th-seeded Houston Rockets (36-35) and two games behind the ninth-placed LA Lakers (40-32).
