Green was ejected after placing Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert in a chokehold, which was sparked by a scuffle between Thompson and McDaniels.
Unsurprisingly, Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors get involved in the season’s first significant brawl. When Klay Thompson and Jaden McDaniels got tangled up in a tussle for a rebound early in the first quarter, things became heated. As they returned across half-court, tensions between them increased. As a result of the scuffle, Thompson’s jersey was torn by McDaniels, and Rudy Gobert attempted to rip Thompson away from McDaniels.

Now that Thompson and Green have been dismissed from the game, they are missing the three mainstays of their dynasty. Although they are missing McDaniels, the Wolves still have their whole roster at their disposal.
Despite his efforts to separate Thompson and McDaniels, Gobert was not removed from the game. In essence, Green was aiming for the same objective; nevertheless, there were two crucial distinctions. The first is that Gobert put Green in a headlock, which is totally unacceptable. The second is that confrontations like these are nothing new for Green. When he gets into fights like this, the authorities no longer give him a pass. After an altercation with Domantas Sabonis in the playoffs last year, he was suspended for a game against the Sacramento Kings.
On Sunday, when Golden State fielded a far stronger team, the Timberwolves still came out on top. Minnesota should have complete control of this game now that Green, Thompson, and Curry are out.
